Los Osos Woodworking

Los Osos, California

Rich Farwell, owner of Los Osos Woodworking, has been at it for a while.

Starting in Junior High, in the late '50s, I made my first project. It was a saltbox: 3/8" solid wood, butt joints and a lid hinged using two small brads. It was a nice little Shaker style box designed to hang from a nail on the wall.

"But who knew from salt boxes? to me a salt box was round and said 'When it rains, it pours'".

After a very long hiatus that covered high school, work in photography, Vietnam, a degree in business at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, marriage to his sweetie Debbie, and the birth of their two children, Richard got back at it.

With two years of working in a one-car carport and doing craft shows under his belt, he got lucky and was accepted into the brand new Fine Woodworking program at College of the Redwoods (1981 thru 1983). "I thought I knew a lot and did good work, but the Fine Woodworking program led by James Krenov really taught me how to achieve fine craftsmanship."

It was three more years in the carport and working for others part time before Richard moved to a commercial space in 1987 where he's owned and operated Los Osos Woodworking for 23 years.

"Shop work has cut a wide swath over the years, but in recent years I've moved to slightly smaller work such as tables, case goods dressers and the like, and lighting. Starting in 1998, I began making Frank Lloyd Wright designed lamps for a Japanese company in Los Angeles. The Wright lamps have led me to develop a line of Craftsman style lamps using Cherry, exotic veneers, and hand painted silk.
