About this book

Learn about the influential woodworkers who shaped the craft and inspired us all.

Notable Woodworkers Since the 1600s is a concise, informative, and essential reference manual for both hobbyist and professional woodworkers. It describes the evolution of woodworking from the time when individual craftsmen were first recognized as masters at the trade and carries us through centuries of style to modern methodology and materials. The book depicts the journey from adze and spokeshave to CNCs and CAD, with stops along the way in the woodshops of the finest practitioners.

While the primary focus is on cabinetmakers and furniture builders, the umbrella also covers designers, educators, and decorative artists such as carvers and turners who have made significant contributions. From Chippendale to Norm Abram, design/build has intrigued both furniture buyers and builders as both a creative art and a way to soothe the soul. Notable Woodworkers introduces the portfolios of familiar names who have guided that quest and personalizes them. It also opens windows on work that may not be so well-known but is equally significant.

A perfect gift for the woodworker in your life, this is a sequential, chronological index to those who have piloted growth in the craft—in essence, a Who’s Who of woodworking since the seventeenth century from Sheraton and Stickley to Krenov and Maloof. Come, meet the masters . . .
