Calumet Trade Goods

Calumet Trade Goods is owned by artisan Ken D. Bueche maker of museum quality historic and contemporary reproductions In the spring of 2010.

Calumet Trade Goods was an idea that began in Ken Bueche's head long ago. I began doing living history in 1986 and like many others began in Civil War. I started into the 1700 time period in 1995 and it rapidly became my passion. I had always enjoyed sewing and making things so, it was natural to me to begin making items for myself then for my friends and by word of mouth. Occasionally, I woulkd m

ake something to sell. I have always had a passion for history and have been a high school history teacher since 1992. During this time I have given thousands of school talks and demonstrations to stundents and public at various historic sites around the country. I made the jump to begin Calumet Trade Goods and "retire" from teaching, giving me my full time to devote to creating historical reproduction goods. I travel to many events north and south to set up and sell my goods and take part in the living history events I attend...

History is my passion and being able to creating a piece that represents that history is truly a gift I love to share.

UPDATE
just to let everyone know that didn't see my post on my Ken D BUECHE page,,,,

I lost my house and studio/shop, pretty much everything in the flood.
Did manage to save my truck and most my tools. At this time I don't think I lost anyone's order I was working on.
Not sure what will happen from here just living minute by minute.

MAIN THING IS: roughly 150,000 peoples homes were damaged or destroyed to be unlivable.

Just doing best I can right now to get work done and rebuild everything.
Thanks
Ken

Just a little update.
For the past six months I have been working as a technical adviser and prop fabricator on a new series to air in 2016 called UNDERGROUND.
The work was fast, demanding and LONG hours.
Thus I have not been out and about to many events and have not been able to post much of the things I've been making until the series begins.
I look forward to sharing with you the work in the near future.

I want to thank everyone for their patience on orders during the past months. I am caught up as far a I know at this time so if I have not contacted you about an order you have placed please let me know.
Thank you all for your support and kind words.
Ken
