Heart of the
Wood Specializing in reproductions of 17th century
furniture and woodwork
About Ted Curtin and Rob Tarule
We are the artisans behind the reproduction furniture that you see on
these pages. Our working relationship began at Plimoth Plantation in the mid-1980's,
where Rob was the Curator of Mechanick Arts, and Ted was one of his understudies. We
have been collaborating in the study and practice of early woodworking ever since.
Our partnership is something of a long-distance one these days: Rob lives in Vermont
where, in addition to his woodworking, he teaches at Goddard College; Ted lives in
Massachusetts, and teaches at the Waldorf School of Cape Cod.
