Savage is a master of his craft whether it is line, wood or words. This book explores the creative and emotional journeys that are taken by those furniture makers who are at the top of their profession. The works featured are stunning in their technique and ability to push the boundaries of what can be done with wood. The book has numerous high quality photos as one might expect to see in a work featuring pieces from some of the top designers and artists, These are balanced by more private and introspective images of the furniture maker in their workspace. Savage has travelled extensively and spoken to some of the most influential contemporary furniture makers in the USA and the UK. He writes with clarity as a practitioner meeting others who are similarly at the top of their game. As a reader you are taken into the many conversations and given insight into the processes from concept to finished product. What makes this book outstanding and unique is the examination of the feelings and internal dialogue that motivates the makers to push the design, handwork, and craft into this exceptional zone. This is not a how to do woodworker's manual but one that encourages one to reflect and draw on ones inner self. Savage's own story is honest, including the mistakes and failures that accompany any creative or artistic journey. These are stories one can learn from and apply in ones personal journey. Genuinely inspirational. Highly recommended.
