Came here after FWW’s memorative issue for Jere’s passing this month, a true master and his pieces are really inspiring.

Sadly, Jere JUST passed away. He'll be missed, but his work lives on.

Something about master woodworkers I can't seem to put in a word! serenity, inner piece and embracement of solitude. Patience, patience and more of it!

Tim Colman posted Jere Osgood's passing. He was an inspirational influence to many . A quiet but powerful force of nature.

is it just me or after watching master's of craft I end up having a new favorite craftsman? all these people are from another planet.

This work can only be described as AWESOME. It took me back to my cabinet making apprentice days in the early 60's. What terrific designs and workmanship. The designs and figure in the material makes the work stand out from the crowd. Truly a gifted cabinet maker.

That last piece is gorgeous! I quietly mouthed "oh my God." when the photo of the back section came on the screen

Wow, now that is modern design that speaks to me. Ok Taunton, you probably need to publish a book on the work of Jere Osgood. It would make fore a fantastic coffee table book or similar

Just saw your work for the first time. I spent 14 years in woodworking and so feel somewhat competent to say that there are beautiful lines and feeling to your work. You get it.

I'd probably be fine with making a chair, it might even come out relatively close to the design. The problem for me would be getting a second, matching chair, to turn out like the first. I'm frequently lazy when it comes to marking out things, or measuring things exactly. I usually prefer to kind of wing it, and fix the problems further down the line if they occur; usually I just remove material until I think it looks right, so my second chair would probably be a different size, and shape, to the first one.

I know he attributes influence to Esherick but sculptural aesthetic is most similar to Carlos Mollino - especially his table legs at 0:17 and lute-desk!

Interesting to hear what he had to say about Tage Frid. I never met Frid but I don't think I would have liked him.

I am intrigued that you say design it first then worry about the technique. I don't know anything about your background but you seem pretty articulate regarding technique. I assume technique is at the back of your mind from the start and every sketch or doodle will involve the question 'how can I make this'? To me technique is the essential basis for my creative expression and as such the expression celebrates the technique but I suspect what you are encouraging is don't get bogged down by technique but what if the student has little knowledge of technique? Do you allow him/her to find out the slow way that the perfect chair form they have just drawn is just impossible to make? I see you have some Wegner inspired chair backs and he was very much a master of technique. What comes through your work to me is a confidence in mastery of technique in the freeness and adventure of your forms!

Amazing work. I do notice that your workbench and tool cabinet in the shop is all straight lines. What gives with that? ………. Just messing with you.
