The Scout Magazine




 They visited Josh Vogel of Blackcreek Mercantile & Trading Co. in late 2010 to kick started the year with a feature on the wood sculptor based in Kingston, New York. Their experience with him was so profound that they knew they had to pay another visit. This time, to document his story as part of a Scout series. The result is anything 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.
