In time \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehe became his father’s apprentice, helping to create exquisite bespoke objects. But \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eeventually the need to find his own path led him to establish his own workshop; to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003echase ever bigger and more commercial projects, to business meetings, bright lights \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand bureaucracy, to lose touch with his roots. Until the devastating loss of one major \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ejob threatened to bring it all crashing down. Faced with the end of his business, his \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eteam and everything he had worked so hard to build, he was forced to question what \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emattered most. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003en beautifully wrought prose, Callum tells the story of returning to the workshop, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto the wood; to handcrafting furniture for people who will love it, and then pass it on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto the next generation – antidotes to a culture where everything seems so easily \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edisposable. As he does so, he brings us closer to nature, and to the physical act of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecreation. Close enough to smell the sawdust, to see the wood’s grain and character \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand to feel the magic of furniture coming to life.
