About Biglow Woodcraft
The woodworking itself draws inspiration from Japanese techniques and theories I continue to study. The master craftsmen drawing knowledge from thousands of years of beautiful, enduring architecture and furniture are the best people to learn from. The joinery, finishing, material selection, and tool usage is all devised to work in harmony. Rather than forcing the wood to conform to a desired result, the processes are designed to merely facilitate a new form. A good joint should come together effortlessly, as the milling procedure, careful measurements and accurate cuts allow near-perfect alignment as a piece is assembled. Good woodworking is about facilitation, not force. I find myself fascinated with traditional Japanese methods of woodworking. A more intimate relationship with the building material is fostered, with tools oriented toward the pull rather than the push; a common “feature” of Western tool design. Workbenches tailored for sitting cross-legged on the floor with your work may not be practical in a more modern wood-shop, but I can appreciate the storied history of Japanese woodworking and it’s eternal pursuit of intimacy and consideration.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Brent makes good stuff. And if you pay him money, he can make you good stuff, too. You can pay other people money to make stuff, but the stuff they make isn’t as good. The stuff Brent makes is better. Brent also cares more. He cares the most, actually. I care about my stuff. Brent cares about his work. We are a match made in Heaven. Unfortunately, he’s engaged. Fortunately, he made me some really good stuff that I really care about.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Working with Brent on this project was an absolute pleasure - much more than a furniture purchase, it was a collaborative experience that produced a piece of art that we are proud to display in our home. The craftsmanship is exquisite, and the table has rightly become the focal point of our favourite room.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We got Brent to do the top for our bar. We had been wanting a live edge bar top for quite some time. I reached out to Brent and he helped us with the complete process from finding the live edge, filling, sanding, staining, transporting and installing it! Brent was really great to work with and we are extremely happy with how it all turned out! So glad the bar is now complete! Thanks so much Brent!
