Cheers for all the replys. I’ve never heard of Greene and Greene before so I’ll check it out now. I only found Sam Maloof’s work when I was looking at a book called Artists Handmade Houses. Which is an awesome book. I won’t to make one of his rocking chairs to. I’ve already made one of Paul’s on his month long course in Banger and i’m currently making another one. I’m trying to make it a little more my own though.
I think Krenov’s work is amazing. Again its the simplicity of it, but there’s nothing dull about it at all. I got A Cabinetmaker’s Notebook by Krenov for Christmas. Paul recommended it to use on the month long course. It really like no other woodworkers book I’ve ever read. Very honest and humble. Its not technical at all, more about his philosophy and ethos on working wood.
I can’t find a gallery of Paul’s work. He used to have a portfolio on his website but I can’t find it now. His rocking chairs a beautiful and simple to. My work bench was right next to one of his on the course and I had the pleasure of coating it in saw dust and nearly knocking it of its stand.
Thanks for the replys, I’ll check out Greene and Greene.
Cheers
