Country Woodcraft - A handbook of traditional woodworking techniques and projects

I have put a lot of miles on my local libraries’ copy of this book. I figured your shave-horse came in part from there.

I have this book as well, and can’t recommend it highly enough. Definitely a must-have for the greenwood worker or anyone with an interest in rustic crafts.

Thanks for the review WayneC.

I put it on my “to buy” list.

It is hard to pass for the price.

You are right!

just ordered it used in good condition for $0.27 + $3.99 for shipping.

It’s cheaper than an ice creme.

Thanks!

Thank you Wayne for the review, another one I must look for.

Wayne, the email for this review has sat in my inbox since you wrote it, just waiting for a minute or two to get back to it. For 28 cents and $4 shipping, I’ve added it to my shopping cart. I just haven’t ordered it yet because the Traditional Woodworker is in there as well and a need a few More items to get the free shipping. Thanks for the review.

Yes, i got a copy about a week ago. I have been reading it a little. First pass was just looking at the pictures. the complete woodworker is an absolutely great book. I’m reading the section on cutting dovetails now. I highly recommend it. Every time I open it, the wheel barrel project seems to call my name. Someday!!
