Canadian woodworker Patrick Moore has developed a passion for historical carpentry and has dedicated himself to reviving the knowledge of Stereotomy, as it was traditionally taught to journeyman carpenters in France, especially at the famed School of Applied Stereotomy founded in 1871 by master craftsman Pierre Francois Guillon. In pursuit of this ambition, Patrick has studied at craft schools throughout Europe as well as the United States and Canada and, in 2013, became the first and only woodworker from the Americas to complete the traditional “Tour-de-France” of carpentry training and to be recognized as a Compagnon Passant Charpentier. Patrick teaches Stereotomy at schools in the United States and Canada, using his own designs to help contemporary woodworkers access these sophisticated techniques.
