Olebiker Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Finally, I'm always reading some kind of woodworking or carpentry book. Am working on James Krenov's A Cabinetmaker's Notebook and Remodeling a Basement (not by Krenov), which is my next big carpentry project. Couldn't you just see a basement remodled by Krenov. It would be full of beautifully made but totally useless objects d'art. Give me a Sam Maloof rocking chair any day. Quote

Krenov has his place, though I don't quite understand why he is as influential as he's been. I suspect it's because he was such a great teacher. His students seem to revere him. Maloof is great, and I really like George Nakashima, whose Soul of a Tree is a really nice read (to get back on topic here) . . . Of course, when it comes to finishing a basement, Norm Abram is still your best bet. Quote
