I had the opportunity to spend a day with woodworking master craftsman, Alf Sharp, and to hear his story and journey to becoming a woodworker making fine furniture. In this three part series we’ll talk about Alf’s history, his views and knowledge on woodworking skills, and the ongoing maker movement.

His journey started with a short stint in Law School and wound its way through work in the skilled trades and owning a large manufacturing business before finally finding his true passion in building high end furniture.

Alf has been building woodworking projects for the last 30 years and has concentrated on museum-quality, one-of-a-kind furniture, primarily in the 18th century American style. He is a master of high and low relief carving, inlay, marquetry, and French polishing. If you want to see more of Alf’s work you can find it here:

  6. Hey Alf! Good to see you again, although not in person. Glad to see my Flagstaff shop is not the only one cluttered with lots of memories of fun (and not so fun) projects.

  9. Thank you for that wonderful and compelling story. Do you have any tips on what are your favorite woods to work with? Thanks again and I hope you all stay safe!
