Where it came from
Published in 1980 by Van Nostrand Reinhold, this instructional volume serves as a definitive guide to the techniques of stack lamination, a method synonymous with the sculptural furniture of Wendell Castle. During this period, Castle was deeply influential in the American Craft movement, having moved away from traditional joinery toward the fluid, organic forms made possible by gluing thin layers of wood together and carving them into seamless shapes.
The book functions as both a technical manual and a design philosophy statement, capturing Castle’s commitment to blurring the boundaries between fine art and functional furniture. By detailing the labor-intensive process of lamination, Castle sought to democratize the technical skills he developed in his Rochester studio, encouraging woodworkers to prioritize expressive form and structural innovation over conventional woodworking constraints.
