Based on his vast experience working with green wood--fresh, unseasoned wood harvested from local woodlands--Ray Tabor' has brought woodworkers a great sourcebook for creating items of beauty while using natural, unadulterated material. Each of the more than 300 patterns for traditional craft designs is fully annotated with a brief description, historical information, and details about which tools and materials are needed. The collection covers a range of objects, from fences and gates to door stops, furniture, even walking sticks and wooden spoons. Simple instructions and diagrams make every project easy, and woodworkers of all levels will have fun exercising their skills while crafting a beautiful--and organic--keepsake.
