Continuing our search for the best from the web this short film introduces George Nakashima. His connection between the living tree and the elegant woodwork he creates is inspirational. We would love to hear what you think.

A Woodworking Tradition
The second weekend in April is an important date in the diary for British woodworkers - it’s the Yandles spring show!
This
woodworking hotspot - based in a historic sawmill and working timber yard in
Somerset UK – enjoys a year-round fan base, with people travelling great
distances to visit the woodwork equipment centre and art gallery.
For most
enthusiasts, the highlight is a visit to the extensive wood store, which houses
both native and exotic timber species. From the smallest bowl blanks and
carving blocks to magnificent large-scale pieces, visitors are sure to find
just the right materials for even the most ambitious of projects. In
preparation for the spring show, the entire site is transformed as woodwork
suppliers and enthusiasts alike exhibit their wares and celebrate all that’s
best in woodworking.
This short
film provides just a flavour of the event, but for a first-hand experience,
there is another chance in September when Yandles opens its doors again for the
Autumn show.
