Jane earned a degree in textiles and applied design, then managed a fabric store, leading the chain of 40 shops with the highest sales per square foot. Several jobs in sales and marketing finally led to establishing her own advertising agency in which she developed marketing plans and produced the materials to fulfill those ideas.
She served as Marketing Director for a nonprofit association for a few years before finally acknowledging that the only satisfying line of work would have to include fiber. For several years Jane was Executive Director of Springwater Workshop, a nonprofit school which offers a year-round selection of classes in weaving, surface design and other fiber arts as well as an extensive program of outreach and demonstrations of traditional fiber arts.

Basic items that are usually purchased to use such as planes, chisels, and other hand tools are thoroughly cleaned. Bench and block planes are completely dissassembled, sharpened if appropriate and tote repaired if needed. Chisels are sharpened and fitted with new handles if needed.
Rare items, collectible planes and rules, one-of-a-kind items, some wood items, and other delicate or patinated objects are gently cleaned only enough to reveal any identifying markings.We never paint any tools for sale or refinish any wood objects. All restoration work for collectible items is left to the discretion of the next owner; so an item may come to you a little grimy, but that way you will know that it maintains its original condition.
