Matt Kenney has been making things from wood his entire life. Years ago, when he was a poor and recently married graduate student with plans for a philosophy professorship, he began to make furniture. He was still bumbling along when a generous professional furniture maker in Camden, S.C., (Joe Mazurek) took him into his shop and taught him to cut dovetails, make doors, and hammer veneer. Kenney has been an editor at Fine Woodworking. He lives in Watertown, Connecticut.
