Newly announced Woodworking In America presenters:
Matt Cremona — Getting the Most Out of Live Edge Boards
As woodworkers, we see all sorts of possibilities in a piece of wood. But, getting the most out of your material can be a task. In this demonstration, I’ll walk you through my process of taking a rough-sawn, live-edge piece of lumber and breaking it down into parts. This includes color-matching parts, selecting the best grain, working with (or around) inclusions, and more. Taking this approach will help you save money on projects, and end up with a better-looking project as well.
Marc Spagnulo — A Hybrid Approach to Woodworking
In the last few years, there’s been a push to return to the roots of woodworking when every step was done with hand tools–from resawing lumber and planing it flat, to cutting joins and creating profiles. Working this way can produce beautiful results, but is it the best method for woodworking in the 21st century? Maybe, but maybe not. In this presentation, I’ll be talking about the hybrid to woodworking, and mainly concentrating on the hand tools that can supplement and enhance woodworking in your power tool shop.
