Paul Legere
Designer, Furniture maker

I have been designing and making furniture for 50 years. In that 50 yrs I have made approximately 1000 one-of-a-kind pieces. About 20% of these pieces included one or more bent laminations in the design. I am a graduate from Dawson College in civil engineering (1972 – 75), I am also a graduate from Sheridan College in Crafts and Design (1980 – 83). I am a fourth-generation woodworker and a metal machinist. With my knowledge of both wood and metal I developed a method and hardware for doing bent laminations using locally available supplies.
