The Artist

Bruce Erdman is returning to the woodworking scene after a 20 year hiatus. His work has appeared in the prestigious Fine Woodworking magazine (1982, No. 33), Fine Woodworking Design Books Two and Three, the American Crafts Buyers Book, 1980-83 and the Goodfellow Catalog of Wonderful Things No. 3. His body of work from 1975 to 1986 included adapted reproductions, custom and original designs and production office furniture, all characterized by meticulous attention to craftsmanship and best display of the inherent beauty of a wide range of domestic and imported wood.

Bruce's work was displayed in the late 70's and early 80's at the highly competitive American Craft Council shows in Baltimore, Rhinebeck, St. Louis and Dallas; the Philadelphia Craft Show and the Las Olas Art Festival in Ft Lauderdale. Galleries from Seattle to Miami and Hawaii to Maine supplied his original box designs, featuring tambours (rolltops) and contemporary shapes, to eager customers who continue to enjoy his work today. Larger original and custom designed furniture, each signed and dated, some with secret compartments, are scattered throughout the US serving as heirlooms for years to come.

In retirement, Bruce resumes his woodworking passion on a smaller scale and invites you to enjoy an enduring work of art in your home today.
