Real Soul of a Tree stuff, embracing imperfections and character using butterfly keys and stuff. George Nakashima - American, heavily influenced by his Japanese ancestry and culture. I wouldn't build like him but I find it refreshing to look at his subversions of the rules. Garry Knox Bennett - American, actually an artist who does sculpture. Super fashionable and well worth learning to emulate. Sam Maloof - American, characterized by flowing lines and rasp-sculpted joinery that seems to grow together organically. Lots of through-tenons and hand-carved details, somewhat organic shapes and really elegant flares on the legs. James Krenov - Swedish American, modern one of the true greats and my personal favourite cabinetmaker. But for the most part, your style is going to come from the way you build and the sorts of mistakes you tend to make and consequently have to hide.īut if you're looking for a jumping off point I'll give you some guys to look up: You'll find folks that you tend to prefer over others, and that will likely influence your style. Some are desperately unfashionable now and will probably never come back, like rococo, and some are so enduring as to be kind of dull, like arts and crafts. Furniture styles are super broad and tend to bleed into each other over time, and the taxonomy thereof is sort of pointless in my opinion. Just start randomly googling furniture pictures, that's what I did.
