Joseph Sokoloff is a master cabinet maker. His craftsmanship is stunning. His designs are straight out of Sunset Magazine from the 70’s (of which I am a collector).

Joseph told me that Communism had destroyed the trades in the Czech Republic so he and his family fled to Canada. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, he build his entire house (right down to the wooden doorknobs) and all the Scandinavian style teak furniture inside it.

I tuned his old Mason & Risch, which he had entirely re-veneered flawlessly. His love for true craftsmanship and distain for the modern world inspired me.
