It's Wood - A show about all things woodworking

On this episode I sit down with Brodey Carpenter owner and creative designer of Dredge Design. I met Brodey on a trip to the southern coast of Oregon. Although I had to brave a winding gravel road up into the woods to get to his shop, once there it was easy to see how inspirational this location was.

On this episode I speak with Robert Frisbee from beautiful Sisters Oregon about inspiration, mistakes and how to learn from them and how he is finding joy in his wood shop after retirement from the business world.

On a journey to eastern Oregon I met Will Nash of Nash Wood in beautiful Bend Oregon. Will creates custom woodworking including carvings, instruments, cabinetry plus so much more. His array of skills is immense. His story fascinated me, I hope you enjoy this episode.

On this episode I have the unique privilege of interviewing a third-generation woodworker. Not how you might think but a third-generation student.  In my first season I interviewed Gary Rogowski of the northwest woodworking studio, then I interviewed a student of Gary’s, Alexander Anderson who now runs Madrone Studio. Today I am interviewing Joshua Talbert a student at Madrone studio we will talk design, inspiration and what it is like working under a master woodworker.  

I am going to introduce you to Kris Kirkman of Kirkman originals. Although by some standards he is a new woodworker with only a few years under his belt but he is creating furniture comparable with woodworkers with decades of experience. I hope you enjoy his story.
