Keats Lorenz, the woodcarver, worked in Goodhue's office as a detail modeler
and architectural stylist from about 1915-1919. If Goodhue needed a Deco
detail or an Ionic capital drawing, or 3-D model that was Keats's job. Keats
then implemented commissions for Goodhue's office in his own shop through
the early 1930's. If you come across anything about the operations in
Goodhue's office during this period please let me know.
Also, Bill Rose is right on chisels. I learned from Lorenz to keep my
woodcarving chisels in canvas rolls of little pockets, with the chisels
"business end" out while the roll is laid open on the bench and chisels are
in use. For storage or transport between sites and jobs they go business end
in. Keats told me you keep you chisels sharp by using them, the more you use
them the sharper they are. How could this be? Because a good carver spends
about a third of his carving time sharpening chisels and always lays them
down sharper than when he picked them up.
