Every time you showed a different piece I kept thinking "I love that!" Turns out I love 'em ALL! So hope you have an apprentice or two among those little folks! A national treasure! Wish we could honor folks like you as the Japanese do their great craftspeople. Blessings and peace to all you love this fresh, new year!
Amazing! I've been looking at things differently all my life! I love what you do! Being a Jeweler, I have wanted to make wood pieces to wear. The wood calls and tells you what it could be! So many times I have been told "you don't want that its garbage! that type isn't good for anything! etc." Every 'wood' has its own color! If I were 20yrs younger I would pay to work to get a chance to learn from this man.
Been working with a local tree trimming company and enjoying the amazing variety of potential lumber. Colors, textures, strengths and weaknesses they all have value. Most woodworkers including myself felt bound by what most call "furniture wood" but have changed my attitude. Don't get me wrong, I still love the smell of walnut, it takes me back to my youth but now I smell it more then I work it.
Wow! I think I'll just toss my tools in the river and resign myself to being a buyer and not a maker. I've never heard of some of those trees, but what beauty they have become!
Love the idea of these videos but I wish they weren't slideshows. An video interview with the woodworker being profiled would be more interesting and engaging I think.... still great content though...
I love working with "trash" wood. Partly because other people stray away from it and like to go against the grain, pun intended. Also tho since most people don't work with it it gives me a greater chance to make something truly unique.
@@bruceschneider4928 I had to watch back over and instantly remembered as soon as I saw it. Yes, such an unusual grain, I can only imagine how difficult it is to come across a log of it. Have you worked with it before?

Being a forester, I appreciate this so much.
Larry David is so versatile. Just cool to see a celebrity interested in wood working.
This really opened my eyes. Wish it were a longer video!
Masters of the craft is my favourite thing on youtube. And I watch a lot.

This made my day! And here I thought I was more-less alone in what I see. Big old world out there…
Watching these videos is so inspiring. But also very humbling. I'm nothing compared to these guys.

Took the words right out my head
That was transformative to my woodwork thinking, Thank You
If this doesn't inspire you, something is wrong :)

I've never said 'wow' so many times- - - -
this should have been longer like 15 minutes at least
i was just thinking, i could have watched that story for a good hour.....
Oh my goodness! What is the species at 4:55? It is spectacular. All these pieces are gorgeous. FW, thank you for sharing this with us.
Anthony Hall Birdseye maple, probably
It’s blistered tulip poplar
The table at 4:55? What species is it, how has it come to look like that? I’ve never come across anything like it!
Bubbly blister tulip poplar. Isn't it magnificent?
