"Mike Pekovich has done a gentle and beautiful job of explaining his approach to being in the shop and to becoming a furniture maker...Everyone can learn from his experience." --Gary Rogowski "author of Handmade, Creative Focus in the Age of Distraction " "It's no surprise that the art director of Fine Woodworking should turn in such a beautifully rendered package, but the wisdom Mike Pekovich imparts herein might just unexpectedly delight you...He delivers the secrets of woodworking alchemy: keep it simple, sharpen, sharpen again, and value your mistakes." --comedian, actor, woodworker, and author of Good Clean Fun "Nick Offerman " "Like the furniture Michael Pekovich builds, his book is disarmingly beautiful and unfailingly useful. It brims with essential information for the designer and maker of furniture, all of it lucidly explained and illustrated. Pekovich is the best kind of teacher --one who has never stopped learning himself. His book will be an enduring wellspring of inspiration--for its furniture, its photographs, and for the generous spirit of its writing." --Jonathan Binzen, Deputy Editor "Fine Woodworking "
