{"id":2,"name":"Max Vollmer","url":"http:\/\/maxvollmer.com","description":"I began my journey into building solid wood, traditionally joined furniture while in law school 35 years ago. After a career in agricultural finance, law and business, I felt an irresistible call to do something different with the next chapter in my life. Building furniture was a natural fit.\r\n\r\nI begin each new project with a commitment to the highest level of craftsmanship. Machines can do the \"heavy lifting\" but can't duplicate the human quality, the subtle \"fingerprints\" of the artisan. For that reason, I employ traditional hand tools in shaping every piece. The hand plane, chisel and scraper each play a part in creating a fit and finish that says, \"hand built.\" Every piece that comes out of my shop is designed to serve the practical needs of my clients. But furniture should also be a source of quiet satisfaction . . . an invitation to the hand and eye to come again.","link":"https:\/\/maxvollmer.com\/?author=2","slug":"maxvollmer","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8a5f3014cd6e8128907d200937a3afd2038bf55d893fdb562a5399f3ef7b0f72?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8a5f3014cd6e8128907d200937a3afd2038bf55d893fdb562a5399f3ef7b0f72?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8a5f3014cd6e8128907d200937a3afd2038bf55d893fdb562a5399f3ef7b0f72?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/maxvollmer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/maxvollmer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
