If you get into woodworking, at some point you'll hear about or read one
of James Krenov's books. And if you do, it may change how you work
wood.

There are many he inspired, more that he influenced and for some he's
the woodworkers' equivalent to Eric Clapton (Clapton is God), spoken of
with reverance. And his books are more philosophical than technical,
with insights into WHY rather than HOW.

What few know is that he's also a tennis nut, and at times - a
curmudgeon.

Here's an interview with him that gives you an idea of the man - one who
doesn't suffer fools lightly.

If you haven't heard of Krenov, or seen his work, you might want to
check out his "official website".
