Dr. Ken Byers, Shaker Works West, has been a dealer at Good Sam since the mid-1990s. He specializes in historically accurate 1:12 scale Shaker/Country room boxes and furniture, plus much more. Here are a few of his museum quality handcrafted antique and modern tools and workshops. While Dr. Byers owns a large number of tools for crafting miniatures, he says, "I probably use the old Exacto knife with #11 blade for 75% of my work." Look for his table at this year's show.
