Description:

Green woodwork is healthy, creative, inexpensive and simple to learn. The beauty of working green - or unseasoned - wood is that using traditional skills and a few simple tools you can make anything from a tent peg to a spoon to a Windsor chair. You can also make your own pole-lathe and avoid the cost, noise and danger of powered machinery! Set up your workshop in the attic, the garden, or even the woods, and find out how to really work with wood, not against it.
Mike Abbott also explains in simple terms what wood is and the advantages of using it unseasoned, the characteristics of different woods and how to obtain them, and which tools to buy and how to care for them. Step by step he guides you through the background, preparation and practice of green woodwork, covering a whole range of fascinating projects in the process.
