Synopsis

Centred on a simpler, more natural approach to making, this book introduces green woodworking through whittling, axe-based furniture making and turning. It begins with choosing and splitting a first log, then builds skills through clearly guided techniques and a sequence of projects.

Along the way, it shows how to carve items such as spoons, bowls and shrink pots, as well as how to make straightforward furniture including a frame stool and side table. Turning on a pole lathe is also covered, leading to the construction of a full chair with turned legs and a back rest. Illustrated with colour halftones, it is designed to make this resurgent folk craft accessible without the need for a workshop.
