“As this sequence suggests, we view the process of learning the fine art of cabinetmaking as an “upward spiral,” in which the cabinetmaker is constantly refining techniques previously learned-an effort with no end, as such, whose goal is excellence in all aspects of the craft.” – James Krenov
The box above is made of a very sweet piece of narra. Jim passed along the wood to me the year he stopped making cabinets. I started making it a few years back and just recently had the time to complete it for my son and his partner.
