Atelier Lionel Fernandes

Lionel m'a aidée dans la construction de plusieurs meubles et je ne peux que le recommander. Il est à l'écoute, sait s'adapter, donne de super conseils et est très professionnel. Il est très enthousiaste aussi. C'était un grand plaisir de travailler avec lui!

Lionel is incredibly helpful and responsive. His work (to my untrained eye) is beautiful and superb. I can and will certainly recommend him for any woodcarving projects in the Maryland area.

Lionel is truly a master at his craft, and while he doesn’t profess to be an artist the truth is everything he does with wood bespeaks his artisanal abilities. In this case, he took a complex duck decoy beak break and made the repair appear not only simple but elegant and fine in every way. As the photographs of his progress on the beak show, he was able to delineate how to design, cut, carve, sand, and paint a new beak into place that brought this lovely decoy back to life (for what is a duck decoy without its prominent beak?). I’ve witnessed a bit of his other work, and this man has craft and skill in abundance. He’s also kind and gentle and communicates throughout the process of his work for you. Truly, Lionel is exceptional. I’m grateful for him and his work. My guess is you will be too….

Lionel a pris le temps de bien comprendre ma demande de coaching et m'a proposé un programme sur-mesure (connaissance bois, affûtage, technique de sculpture) parfaitement adapté à mes besoins et à mon niveau. Sa gentillesse, son aisance pédagogique et sa passion pour son métier m'ont permis d'apprendre énormément dans une atmosphère détendue. Je termine cette formation avec les connaissances qui me manquaient et beaucoup d'idées pour de nouveaux projets!
