You can plan the structure and you can design the composition.

But creativity isn’t built from logic - it comes from heart.

The details people connect with are the ones you felt, not the ones you calculated.

This week, we talked with author and carpenter Will Jones about his creative journey.

Will Jones is a UK-born carpenter, writer, and author of Cabin, a book that chronicles his journey of building a handcrafted retreat in the Canadian wilderness.
