“Everyone dreams of touching or holding an object they have personally created from a piece of timber – warm natural timber.  How would I get started?  What tools would I need?  Is training readily accessible?  These are commonly raised self-doubts – unnecessary doubts – as this book provides the answers, all written in non-technical language.  For established woodworkers and D.I.Y.’s this book provides the means of taking their knowledge, and subsequent results, to higher levels.
