Woodwright's Guide - Working Wood With Wedge And Edge

The Woodwright's Guide - Working Wood With Wedge & Edge. Author, Roy Underhill

The Woodwright's Guide - Working Wood With Wedge & Edge is Roy Underhill's seventh book and his first in 12 years, and this one is all about the techniques. But don't be intimidated - this highly readable book is written in Underhill's casual style and he makes the most complicated techniques seem doable. Starting with the standing tree, each chapter in The Woodwright's Guide explores one of nine trades of woodcraft, including faller, countryman & cleaver, hewer, log-builder, sawyer, carpenter, joiner, turner and cabinetmaker. Underhill compares and contrasts each of these trades and their relationship to the material they use, and the techniques they rely on. No matter what trade you are learning, The Woodwright's Guide - Working Wood With Wedge & Edge will inform and inspire you.
