US Civil War Pattern Maker and Cat Lathe
The famous Civil War Pattern Maker And His Cat Wood Turning Lathe A truly unique, one of a kind Antique Cabinet Card Photograph reproduction featuring a heavily bearded woodturner at this custom lathe. I suspect he was a pattern maker and this was his personal lathe. The lathe has cast iron Cat Head and Tail Stocks. The Head Stock is a Cat holding the drive in it's mouth. The Tail Stock is special! It is a Cat holding the Tail Stock in it's mouth with the adjustment wheel projecting from it's hind quarters. The stoic, serious look on the craftsman's face belies the joke inherent in the tathe.
