For fans of James Krenov - Ohio Mike - 10-09-2020 There's a new video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2W10JtdPU4 Brendan Gaffney has just written a book about the life of James Krenov and in this video Brendan gives a presentation about his research. He goes into detail about Krenov's early life and artistic influences. Lots of photos as well. This video is 1.5 hours long!

I am a big Krenov fan. I have a short bio of JK on my web-site. I may have to get the book to fact check what I wrote! Below is my attempt/interpretation/homage to a Krenov Cabinet on Stand. I would love to see any that others have made! Materials: Teak, Black Acacia, Spalted Poplar and Wenge [attachment=30146] [attachment=30144] RE: For fans of James Krenov - Phil S. - 10-10-2020 Nice cabinet, Don. I like the matched grain on the drawer fronts. Phil RE: For fans of James Krenov - Ohio Mike - 10-10-2020 (10-10-2020, 02:26 PM)Don_M Wrote: Mike - That's beautiful! You can see the Krenov influence. RE: For fans of James Krenov - Don_M - 10-11-2020 Thanks Phil, The drawer fronts were from a single piece of Black Acacia and although not obvious from the photo are actually convex in shape. The drawer case construction is a bit more complicated as they are supported by internal sets of runners/kickers/rails that sit behind and are hidden by the drawer fronts which gives the illusion the drawers sit or float on themselves (another, as I understand, JK technique) RE: For fans of James Krenov - jcousins2 - 10-11-2020 here's a piece i did in the krenov style - i met him in 2002 when i attended the college of the redwoods wwing school. he wasn't teaching but would walk through the shop and chat with people - and a few times gather everyone to talk about his approach on a cabinet the was currently working on. the wood is aniegre - not sure why the color shift between top & bottom - not there in real life jerry [attachment=30189][attachment=30190] RE: For fans of James Krenov - John Fry - 10-11-2020 (10-09-2020, 04:17 PM)Ohio Mike Wrote: There's a new video on YouTube I am a huge fan of Krenovs work and designs.

Mike RE: For fans of James Krenov - Handplanesandmore - 10-12-2020 Impressive Krenov-inspired builds! I admire Krenov's but mostly his wall cabinets...I'm not a fan of the stands at all. Of his smaller pieces, I like the Jewelry box of Andaman padouk and the Ceramic pieces box he was commissioned to make for the late King Gustav of Sweden most. Simon |
