Michael Pekovich |
Mike Pekovich is the Executive Art Director for Fine Woodworking magazine. A long-time woodworker, he caught the hand tool bug when he came to the magazine 15 years ago. 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. Whether he’s teaching or working at Fine Woodworking, Mike combines his passion for the craft with his desire to demystify the process for others. He has conducted a number of video workshops and teaches regularly at the Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking and the Marc Adams School of Woodworking in Franklin, Indiana. |
