Curtis Buchanan Milk Painting



* John mentioned this video during our last meeting as it relates to the mixing and use of milk paint.  Curtis is a very well-respected windsor chair maker, and he has an unassuming and easy-going style... this is one of a series of over 50 videos that he has posted that lead you through his process of making windsor chairs.
