Who you’d be among
SAPFM is a fellowship of period-furniture makers. The work appears in the Gallery, the talk happens in the Forum, the friendships happen in the chapters, and the whole year converges at the annual conference.
Twenty-five years of work by SAPFM members — high-style case pieces, chairs, carving, turning, tools, and the occasional casual piece that came out of a period-trained shop. Open to the public. A running record of what this society makes.
Browse the Gallery →Year-round conversation between makers — questions, work-in-progress, finished pieces, sources, techniques, and the longer discussions that don’t fit a chapter meeting. Active since 2008. Lurkers welcome; members post.
Visit the forum →Twenty-two chapters across the country. Active chapters meet several times a year — the strongest run quarterly while local energy holds — to share work, examine pieces, and host visiting makers. Membership in the national society includes participation in any chapter, anywhere.
Find a chapter near you →The year’s centerpiece. Several days of demonstrations, member presentations, side trips, the annual meeting, and the presentation of the Cartouche Award. As much a social event as an educational one.
Conference details →The publications, the Members Desktop, and the reference library are the assets of membership. The people are the reason.
