About the Author

Born in Syracuse, New York, trained as a residential carpenter, and educated as a social anthropologist, he taught for a decade in university and college in that field before turning to woodmaking. For 23 years, he taught wood courses at Lansing Community College in Michigan, from which he developed his independent teaching career both at the Home Shop and the road.

Wilson is perhaps best known for being at the forefront of the revival in Shaker oval box making, both as a teacher and supplier of a full range of materials for the craft. His first book Making Wood Tools, features projects from the Home Shop.
