Scott Phillips

A master woodworker with a thorough knowledge of his craft, Scott Phillips' reverence for the intricacies of wood and its possibility has helped making The American Woodshop a favorite among public television audiences for three decades. Scott is in his fourth decade of woodworking. He started in his father’s shop at the age of 11. His first money-making projects—air-dried walnut shelves and boxes—led to furniture and restoration commissions. Furniture repair work quickly spurred a passion for antique furniture. His approach: study the best, then make furniture using the correct techniques. Today, Scott maintains a full-time woodworking enterprise founded on his degree in Forestry. Scott is actively involved in habitat reforestation and riparian restoration projects. Look for articles about Scott and his woodworking projects in Woodcraft Magazine.
