I first saw it in a bookshop just after Christmas and nearly bought it on the spot &#8211; the graphics are excellent and the scope is very wide. <\/p>\n<p>The book is organised into 7 chapters covering: Raw materials (types of wood); Carving and shaping wood (lots of illustrated examples of different styles and techniques); Joinery (fixings, types of joint and corners); Decorating and finishing (veneers and surface treatments); Wood at work (from pots and bowls to chairs, implements, technology, wood and textiles and transport); Heart and soul (printing, toys, rituals, and masks); and Tools (organised by family &#8211; measuring, making holes, smoothing, holding and so on). <\/p>\n<p>This is a richly illustrated compendium of brief articles showing a range of treatments, techniques and tools in a social context with some historical examples. The great thing is you can pick the book up, read a quick section over a cuppa and then go on with something else &#8211; and wherever you dip there is another fascinating snippet.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate this new arrival, I have signed up as an Amazon Affiliate and I&#8217;ve finally got around to putting my own book in the sidebar, as well as my current reading &#8211; you will see the latter change as my reading selections change \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Cheers<br \/>\nJerry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My latest Amazon.com purchase arrived today!
