By Emil Milan
Located in New York, NY
Emil Milan handmade decorative and functional nut bowl in Lapacho Wood, 1970s. Emil Milan (May 17, 1922-April 5, 1985) was an American woodworker known for his carved bowls, birds, and other accessories and art in wood. Trained as a sculptor at the Art Students League of New York, he designed and made wooden ware in the New York City metropolitan area, and later in rural Pennsylvania where he lived alone and used his barn as a workshop. Participating in many woodworking, Craft, and design exhibits of his day, his works are in the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Renwick Gallery, the Yale Art Gallery, the Centre for Art in Wood, the Museum of Art and Design, and many private collections.

His legacy has been revived by an extensive biographical research project that has led to renewed interest in his life, work, and influence early life and education: Milan was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey[b] and graduated from Abraham Clark High School in Roselle in 1940. He took up wood carving at an early age and learned shop skills from his father, who was an Industrial welder. Attesting to his skill, one of his teachers paid him to carve a small wooden cow...
