Transformations, in Wood; On Wilshire Boulevard

It took a crisis to propel Stefan Bishop back to his early passion: carving art and functional pieces out of ancient logs. Mallery Roberts Morgan talks to Bishop about transforming wood, and his own life, while drawing inspiration from dreams and keeping a young business afloat. And Doug Suisman meditates on Wilshire Boulevard, as it goes through a transformation from a street shaped by cars to one being remade by the crowd.
