In this episode, Joshua talks with woodworker and researcher Andrew Gonzales who wrote for Issue Twenty-One about traditional New Mexican furniture making. Gonzales received an M&T Craft Research Grant in 2025, and in the course of his hands-on investigation, discovered some fascinating aspects of this particular craft heritage. You thought you knew “Colonial American” furniture making? Think again. Gonzales has a lot to teach us about his family’s 500-year legacy of traditional craft practice on this continent.
