Ron Aylor
Ron Aylor, a resident of Lilburn, Georgia, is an unplugged woodworker. Without electricity and using traditional edged tools, he specializes in 17th-century mannerist carving and Colonial American furniture. The bulk of his work is of 17th-century style joined stools, carved boxes, tables, and bookstands. This work follows techniques and methods from the period. Ash, cherry, pine, poplar, maple, and walnut are his timber of choice.

Secondly, I would like to thank David Walton for the inspiration to build a Roman workbench. Thirdly, thanks go out to Peter Follansbee for inspiring me to start 17th-century mannerist carving in the first place.
