James Krenov's delicate, lyrical cabinets have inspired a
generation of wood craftsmen, as has his impassioned insistence
that one do his very best work, no matter what. In this volume,
first published in 1979, Krenov invites the reader into his
workshop, where he shares his techniques and uncompromising
approach to craftsmanship, along with thoughts about his work and
its place in the world. Photo sequences show how Krenov composes a
cabinet directly in the wood, without dimensioned drawings. He also
discusses working with shop-sawn veneers, the technique of fitting
curved doors, and the problems of accuracy and mistakes. The book
concludes with a detailed exploration of three furniture projects:
a curved showcase cabinet, a writing table with drawer, and a chess
table.
