Learning From A Perfectionist

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 26, 2006

James Krenov is one of woodworking's treasures - an acknowledged master craftsman who is open about both his aesthetics and his techniques. For many of us he is a role model who started out on a shoe string in Sweden and has gone on to create a whole style all his own. He is as devoted to teaching as he is to his work and has a gift for inspiration and straightforward exposition. Unlike A Cabinet Maker's Notebook, The Fine...

Reflective of the art, the craft and the material

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 16, 1998

this is not a "how to" book of woodworking, you will find no blue prints or schematicts. this book is however, highly informative and illuminating. Krenov speaks of his strong feelings for the craft and the nature and spirit of the wood itself. His reflections are inspring and reach beyond woodworking as mearly a means to an end. This book is good reading for both the novice and the expert of crafts. I highly recommend it...
