Читать книгу Woodworker's Guide to Veneering & Inlay (SC) - Jonathan Benson - Страница 7

During the past three decades, I have been lucky enough to work at a craft I love, to continue to explore new ideas in the studio, and to then pass on that knowledge. I want to thank the many students I have had for their thoughtful questions and new insights, which have taught me so much. I would also like to thank my clients for giving me the freedom to push the boundaries of my work and move it into new areas. Finally, I would like to thank Sherry, my wife, for her love and support during the past 20 years.

This book would not have been possible without John Kelsey’s thoughtful editing and extensive knowledge about the woodworking field. I would also like to thank those who contributed material for the production of this book, including Silas Kopf, Northhampton, Massachusetts; Frank Pollaro, Pollaro Custom Furniture Inc., Union, New Jersey; Dave Bilger, B&B Rare Woods; Michael Erath, Erath Veneers; Dave Boykin, Boykin Pearce Associates, Denver, Colorado; Mike Bray, Berkeley, California; and Woodwork Magazine.
