This is Jason. He has been a woodworker for over 12 years. When parts are selected for final assembly, they are not chosen at random. The craftsmen isn’t just looking for structural perfection, parts are selected for their particular grain structure and hue. Hue variations should be subtle, grain structures should flow from one part to the next altering the way the eye perceives the form of the finished piece. Joints are clean. Finished surfaces are smooth and irresistibly soft to the touch. This work takes a careful eye. It is the work of a perfectionist. This is Jason’s speciality.
