Dan Beckmann, Customer in Residence
CUSTOMER IN RESIDENCE Since 2007, our Customer in Residence (CIR) program has welcomed hundreds of customers, from across the country and around the world, to our Auburn, Maine workshop. During the week-long CIR program, our master cabinetmakers guide each participant through every step in the production of their very own Thos. Moser heirloom —
from
raw
material
selection
to
the
finishing
process.
If you — or someone you know — share our passion for fine woodworking, the CIR program offers a unique opportunity to learn the intricacies of traditional joinery, the satisfaction of shaping fine hardwood, even the discriminating process of applying natural finishes to achieve the perfect luster. You’ll have the opportunity to interact closely with the Moser team and with fellow attendees, sharing experiences during daily meetings and at two special group dinners during your visit. Participants stay at the historic Harraseeket Inn in Freeport with ample free time to explore Freeport and surrounding areas.
For details, please contact us at: cir@thosmoser.com or call Steve Wyman at: 800.708.9041
