from
Wikipedia
A friend in Sweden got Krenov a job building wooden architectural models for a restaurant designer ; later Krenov got himself a spot at the Stockholm design school run by Carl Malmsten, considered the father of Scandinavian furniture design.
He attended the famous Malmsten school for two years and then struck out on his own, keeping a shop in his basement.
" Krenov really helped re-create an interest in fine woodworking that had largely died out by the 1950s ," says Frank Ramsay, president of the Bay Area Woodworkers Association, " Such a change from the ' make a box, cover it with plywood and paint it ' era of the 1960s.
The positive response to that first book surprised Krenov, and he ended up writing four more books including a final book that showcased the work of his students ,” With Wakened Hands .”
