Matt: Pure and Refined Elegance – Japanese Fine Woodwork by Living National Treasure Kenji Suda
Unfortunately, neither Matt nor I could find a source for this book.
Chris, a listener, recently found a few copies of Japanese Fine Woodwork Pure and Refund Elegance by Kenji Suda on eBay and Amazon by searching for its ISBN number, 4898064337.
And photos illustrating his work here and here

Ben,
I know you use Instagram to highlight certain woodworkers almost every week, but I was wondering if you've considered announcing each new issue and each episode of ShopTalk Live on Instagram? For many of us, we follow Instagram daily, but don't always check the website. Of course, I know your plate is pretty full and there may be lines you like to draw, but just a thought. Thanks!
Hey, I need to modify my comment. I can see now that you did several posts based on the latest magazine articles, but I forgot about Instagram's new approach. I liked it so much better on Instagram when you just got everything from everyone to which you were subscribed. Sorry for the confusion!
Yep that is true, 3M use to make two types of blue tape, maybe they still do.I can see in the photo that Tom used the tape designed for delicate surfaces, it has low tack and therefore peels off easily.It also has a smooth feel on the front tape surface. Regular painters tape has much higher tack and the the front surface has a crepe feel to it. The inside core of the "delicate" tape was once orange, maybe it still is. GPB

Love the podcast!
Spalted Maple - hardening the punky wood.
A number of woodworkers are using CPE (Clear Penetrating Epoxy). I was kinda surprised your group didn't know about it. Maybe we need you FWW types to work with more 'crappy' woods, less careful board selection? Just kidding..:) Appreciate all the finer details your podcast provides.
Video below shows some CPE results for a table done by Matt Cremona (1:12 mark) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz4sGgskImI
