Overview

Green woodworking is a natural way of working with unseasoned wood to create a huge variety of useful and attractive products. In the past, many of the products in our homes were handmade by craftsmen working with material taken from local woods and forests. In this book Ray Tabor passes on the 30 years of skill and knowledge he has acquired as a woodsman and green woodworker producing traditional products.

Nothing combines natural beauty and usefulness more than a Windsor chair or a rustic garden fence made from green wood. You can use the instructions in this immensely practical and well illustrated book to create a host of useful and attractive products for home and garden.

From acorn to zale - an indispensable resource for the seasoned woodworker and beginner alike.
