Born in Portland, OR, Craig Edelbrock is a Professor and Dean at the University of Alabama. He is an amateur woodworker interested in craft history and biography, mid-century design, and the studio craft movement in America. He has served on the boards of the Wharton Esherick Museum (Paoli, PA), the Center for Art in Wood (Philadelphia), the Collectors of Wood Art, and the Kentucky Art Center (Northport, AL). Emil Milan is his "craft great grandfather" - the author's mentor was trained by a man who apprenticed with Milan. These three degrees of separation resulted in the obsession to write this book.
