This 304 page book is based on old methods of woodcraft. The author lives on a farm where all the things found in this book are made and used. Mr. Langsner and is wife have apprenticed themselves to old-time crafts people to learn first-hand secrets of the trade from making wood milk pails, bowls, spoons, wheelbarrows, milk stools, brooms, plows, lathes, shaving horses, hay rakes, bark boxes, baskets, and more. From the rear cover: "By making things yourself, you have to think. Developing the skills to make things, and actually practicing those skills, is good satisfying work. The things you make are comprehensible. They fit you instead of some statistically typical person someplace else. And fashioning objects from wood selected by you, brings you into much closer contact with the natural forces that are often obscured by 'modern' living. [The author} guides you along the path of understanding the beauty and intimacy of transforming raw unmilled wood into beautiful objects you will use in everyday life. His explanations are filled with why as well as how so you'll get the sense of it all. The drawings show exactly what he wants you to see. But most of all, he wants you to experience the rewards of crafting things; the 'something' that makes everything you do seem a bit more as it should be." Filled with dozens of black and white photos and illustrations, this is a must-have handbook for those interested in traditional woodworking techniques and projects.
