AUTHOR: Michael Pekovich is the art director for Fine Woodworking magazine. A long-time woodworker, he caught the hand tool bug when he came to the magzine 20 years ago. His taste in furniture is typical of Fine Woodworking readers. Growing up in California, he was inspired by the writings and work of legendary woodworker James Krenov. A visit to the Gamble House in Pasadena cemented his love for Arts and Crafts-style furniture. Today, Mike enjoys working with native hardwoods, keeping his designs simple and the focus on hand-cut joinery.
Michael Pekovich's approach to designing and building furniture, as well as life in general, is that simple is usually better. A furniture maker, photographer, writer, teacher, and graphic designer, he puts his talents to use as the creative director at Fine Woodworking. Mike shares a small home in the woods of Connecticut with his wife, two children, and a cat.
