We all know Japanese joinery is just wonderful, but what happens when two British guys base their woodworking business on this style of work?

Finding woodwork and furniture with a unique aesthetic can be a challenge at times. So when I first saw the honeycomb resin work of Antony Elliot I took notice straight away. It is so interesting and appealing to look at, and it really helps to set his work apart. I had never seen anything like it before.

Sometimes you come across the work of another woodworker and all you can do is; purse your lips together in that appreciative way; nod your head, and think to yourself— “Yess! Sweet work man. Respect.” This is pretty much what I did when I first saw Reuben Daniel’s work.

Larry Reaves is a father, skateboarder, and woodworker based in Columbia, S.C. He always seems to get the colour and pattern just right, and turns out some amazing work. I caught up with him recently to find out a little more about his story, and to get some insight into his woodworking.

Greg Klassen is the man who originally created the River Table, and subsequently a River Collection. Based in the Pacific Northwest of North America, Greg successfully sends his creations all over the world. The demand is such that he can, at times, have a two-year order backlog for his work. But it wasn’t always this way, as you’ll find out below.

He hails from the "mean streets of Lochgoillhead" in Scotland. His YouTube videos are some of the best and most entertaining out there. But he hasn’t made any videos for a while. Are they coming back any time soon? I find out.
