Koji Tanaka's wooden sculptural pieces are subtle, yet eye-catching, and they beg to be touched ("My pieces are as much a visual experience as they are a tactile one," he says). I love the smooth lines and organic shapes paired with the inherent beauty of wood. Tanaka is a relative newcomer to the fine craft world, though he's been honing his craft for years, most recently as an apprentice to master woodworker Victor DiNovi.
