Ralph Kylloe received his Ed.D. from Boston University and has taught at the university level for many years, but his enthusiasm for rustic furniture has led him away from the academic life to a career as a writer and lecturer on the subject. A dealer in antique and contemporary rustic furniture and decorative accessories, he has developed a considerable following as a design consultant on rustic style. His collection of rustic materials has been exhibited in New York and Boston, and his gallery at Lake George, in New York's Adirondacks (and at ralphkylloe.com), attracts visitors all year long. Among the author's books are Rustic Traditions, Fishing Camps, Rustic Furniture Makers, Rustic Garden Architecture, and Rustic Style.
