Graham
Blackburn’s new book TRADITIONAL WOODWORKING
TECHNIQUES is at once a clear and practical introduction
to the art of furnituremaking, as well as a permanent and invaluable reference
to many of the fundamental aspects of the craft.
Even
if you have never made a single piece of
furniture before,TRADITIONAL WOODWORKING TECHNIQUES
will guide you easily through material selection, the complexities of
dimensions and wood movement, the choice of joinery, and the mysteries
of pleasing design. Starting with just a few basic handtools, you will
progress from simple but useful projects, such as boxes and chests, to
more advanced items, such as tables and chairs — furniture to be
proud of. Whether you work your way through every project, or simply dip
into a particular area — such as the detailed chapters on miters,
dovetails, mortise-and-tenons, splayed joinery, running carving, moulding,
or drawermaking —
TRADITIONAL WOODWORKING TECHNIQUES
will lay the foundation for a thorough understanding of this most rewarding
craft.
Illustrated with over 400 detailed line drawings, and
complete with an annotated select bibliography, this fully indexed book
is an essential part of the furnituremaker’s toolkit.
