Perquimans County cabinetmaker Ben Hobbs creates fine reproductions of 18th century furniture the old-fashioned way. He also teaches classes to aspiring cabinetmakers using hand tools, traditional techniques, and designs from the 18th century. Green discusses some of the history of cabinetmaking in eastern North Carolina and takes readers on a visit to Hobbs's workshop.
