The Woodworker Sessions Q & A

Shaun Futter is one of a rare breed of woodworkers. He carefully crafts unique products by hand for fly fishing enthusiasts. His attention to detail and quest for the highest of standards is self-evident in each and every piece that he creates.

Leaving school, studying graphic design and moving into my own home, I didn’t have money for decent furniture and became despondent at what was available quality wise.

Further down the road, this led to me making a Wenge dining room table which rekindled my interest in working with my hands and my love for design. The rest is history!

Rudolf Zuidema of RA Woodcraft in Cape Town is a passionate and acutely talented cabinetmaker. His drive for quality and accuracy in his craft is is wonderfully evident throughout his workshop.

Allen Petrie and his talented woodworking wife Liza, own Greenhaus in Salt Rock, KZN. Their woodworking enthusiasm, creativity and passion is fast becoming legendary!

The next craftsman in The Woodworker Sessions Series of Q & A Interviews is Anthony Berry of Cape Town.  He has become a good friend, an up and coming luthier and he is starting to create some truly beautiful musical instruments.

Anthony has a wonderfully lateral and sensible approach to his craft and is slowly kitting his workshop out with very high quality, very specific hand tools and machines.
