In our Projects section, Israel Martin makes a Shaker-style bench; Wayne Bennett makes an oak box for storing watches and cufflinks; Beatriz Zuazo makes a marquetry tambour door; Dennis Zongker completes his bespoke chair project; Gary Ramsden recycles wood from an old chest of drawers to make a sewing box; Michael T Collins makes an elegant cherry wood jewellery box; and Brendan Devitt-Spooner builds a drop-leaf kitchen table.

In Techniques, Giacomo Malaspina demonstrates hand planing and squaring techniques; Anthony Bailey explains everything you need to know about using cabinet scrapers; and Dorian Bracht provides an overview of Japanese saws and describes a decorative dovetail joint.

In Features, we showcase pieces from Gallery FUMI’s exhibition of work by US sculptor Casey McCafferty; and we look at Hugo Egleston’s Arches Desk, which was awarded a Bespoke Guild Mark by The Furniture Makers’ Company.

We also have profiles of talented designer-makers Benoît Vauthier and Manu Lerendu; Chris Maruca; Mark Ripley; and Mark Thomas.
