The Woodwright's Guide
Working Wood with Wedge & Edge

Roy Underhill

Beginning with the standing tree, each chapter explores one of nine trades of woodcraft: faller, cleaver and countryman, hewer, log builder, sawyer, frame carpenter, joiner, turner, and cabinetmaker.

 
Each trade brings new tools and techniques; each trade uses a different character of material; but all are united by the grain in the wood and the enduring mastery of muscle and steel. Hundreds of detailed drawings illustrate the hand tools and processes for shaping and joining wood.
