    Michael Pekovich

    Author Headshot

    Those who work with Fine Woodworking creative director Michael Pekovich  know him as a talented furniture maker and graphic designer who is committed to bringing complicated subjects to our readers in the clearest way possible. He’s also the go-to guy for solutions to our own furniture-making snafus. But on his own time, Mike is building quite a resumé as a teacher. This year he’s taught a long list of classes, from weekend workshops on hand-tool skills to weeklong classes at Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking and the Marc Adams school.
