From Floors to Fine Art: Jakko Woudenberg's Wood Floor Masterpieces

In this episode, the "Dutch Wood Artist" Jakko Woudenberg describes how, as a typical wood floor pro, he felt compelled to create something more. That journey has led him to creating some of the most incredibly wood floors in the world, including the phenomenal massive tree-ring floor and, most recently, a 195,000‑piece wooden mosaic re-creation of Rembrandt’s "The Night Watch". In his conversation with host Stephen Diggins, he shares his philosophy on creativity, craftsmanship and mentorship. Jakob also discusses collaboration, teaching the next generation and his vision for creating a global, pay‑it‑forward flooring artwork that connects elite wood floor pros around the world.
