Marquetry Sideboard
Woodworker: Julie GodfreyGodfrey, a woodworker and marquetry teacher, spent two years under Krenov’s guidance. In between, she studied marquetry with Silas Kopf. The second year at CR was her opportunity to “integrate marquetry with Jim’s unmatched sense of design and proportions.” Although the high contrast and mixed media of this sideboard seem at odds with the more subtle nature of Krenov’s work, the flared legs, upturned ends, carved handles, and careful craftsmanship certainly don’t. Godfrey was eight months pregnant when building this sideboard, so her husband Jamie pitched in to help complete it. Panels: Charles Chu
