Old Ways of Working Wood: The Techniques and Tools of a Time Honored Craft Hardcover – 5 February 2009

This book can be the start of a great hobby that will reward you with truly handcrafted products. It will give you a lot of respect for the wooden furniture of the olden days and also even more respect for the power tools we use today. If you love woodworking then I can not recommend this book more highly as it will show you it all began. There is something special about working wood with a hand tool into a fine piece of furniture that will make a great addition to your home. I was very pleased with how information is presented in this book and it is very easy to read and understand.

This book is excellent. Everything I was looking for.

My Hubby has found this to be very informative historically, dont buy this assuming it will teach you how to use tools but more a historic look at hand tools and their uses, what the local joiner was expected to do in a small village

As usual, the product value and customer service was superior.

Nice book.
