Here is an Excerpt:
Greg Salvo speaks the language of wood easily. Like any good conversationalist, he listens as much as he talks.
Salvo’s woodwork incorporates a “live edge” technique, which refers to the retention of organic lines and unprocessed faults along the edge of a slab. This means that the rough, uneven table or furniture exterior that you see is not just raw and absolute but very much alive.
“Many woodworkers will kill the live edge,” Salvo said. “They will cut it off and throw it away, but I don’t do that to the live edge. I like to see what’s growing and how the edge of the wood is growing. It isn’t just a dead board or dead timber. It is the living cells of the trees – their structure, their identity.”
Woodworking is a profoundly spiritual business to Salvo, a serious matter of live and death. Because of his belief system, he makes a series of deliberate choices along the way when preparing or creating something, all predicated on listening to the desires of a particular piece.
