Brooklyn-based website, The Scout,  just released the newest addition to their video series highlighting craftsmanship.  Launched back in 2009, the series has portrayed a variety of craftsman ranging from apparel designers to architects.  All the videos are truly inspiring, and we encourage you to visit thescoutmag.com to see everything else they have to offer.

Here’s what The Scout had to say about Josh Vogel:

We visited Josh Vogel of Blackcreek Mercantile & Trading Co. in late 2010 and kick started this year with a feature on the wood sculptor based in Kingston, New York. Our experience with him was so profound that we knew we had to pay another visit. This time, to document his story as part of our series. The result is nothing like we’ve ever done. This film gives little background on who Josh Vogel is, read our feature for more details. Instead it explores the idea that turning wood is a reductive process that in essence is a step back in time. As the wood loses a layer, the years are taken away. This abstract idea is a constant that Josh is very aware whenever his chisel touches the bark and steady peels away the rings of time. thescoutmag.com
