Stewart Shapiro

Stewart is a self-taught woodworker living in New London, Pennsylvania.

"I love the beauty of wood with all its imperfections, so my projects tend to have a very natural, somewhat rustic, appearance. Consistent with this philosophy, I tend to use finishes that bring out the natural color of the wood rather than stains or dyes, and I rely on traditional wooden joinery such as mortise and tenon joints rather than screws."
