Synopsis

Unseasoned wood requires minimal equipment, inexpensive materials, and less energy. But because it's "live" material, it shrinks and changes. See how to deal with these shifts, as well as find and judge the quality of raw material; tools and tool care; and techniques. Work with round wood and the shaving-horse, steam-bend wood for chairs; and make tool handles, fences, rakes, a pole-lathe for turning, and more.

About this title

Synopsis:

Green woodwork is creative and inexpensive to learn. The beauty of working green (or unseasoned) wood is that by using traditional skills and a few simple tools you can make anything from a tent peg to a Windsor chair, without needing power machinary.
