I’m a craftsperson (slöjder) deeply rooted in the Swedish tradition of slöjd, where art, quality, and technique meet. Since 1985, I’ve worked with green and dry wood, creating everything from chairs and knives to sculptures—all shaped by hand.
Slöjder in traditional Scandinavian woodwork and folk art, artist, teacher, and writer of slöjd books.
The unfiltered, PG-13 substack of woodworker and writer Christopher Schwarz. Posts cover folk furniture, running a woodworking business and generally pulling down the pants of craftsmen who have a giant stick up their butts. Two posts a week.
