Working Wood: A Guide for the Country Carpenter

Mike Bubel

Heavily illustrated with detailed line drawings and photographs. This is \".a guide for the novice eager to construct his or her own shelters and tools, and an idea book for the experienced do-it-yourselfer.\"

The first part of the book covers general principles of rough-hewn carpentry, including tools, sources of wood, etc. The second part comprises buildings the authors have constructed including: log cabin, livestock shelter, hay mangers, rakes, saw horses, and a full scale barn. A well done book as you might expect from the excellent Rodale Press.

\"Working Wood ...is a practical book that tells how to acquire and use old but serviceable materials to make rough-hewn but utilitarian homestead buildings and tools. It\'s about working the wood so it works for you.\"
