"Simplicity is at the heart of so much that is fine..." - James Krenov
A giant of the woodworking community passed away this week. Krenov was known for his simple but beautiful furniture. He was also a master teacher, and had a great love for hand tools.
This is his website.
His most famous book is The Cabinetmaker's Notebook.

George Nakashima (1905-1990) was another well-known woodworker who wrote a terrific book about woodworking. The book also describes his life, which is interesting enough to warrant its own book.
His web page.
His most well-known book is The Soul of a Tree.
