The Table Maker

Más información sobre el libro

The mindfulness of carpentry; sourcing and seasoning your timber; tongue and groove, lap and spleen; legs, aprons, stretchers and trestles; fox wedges and tenon joints: through his inimitable artistry, wit and individualism, Joel Bird passes on the skills of table making while also expressing the personal journey that accompanies the learning of these skills. Split into four parts--table beginnings, the table top, the table base, and the table finishing--The Table Maker is part meditation and part guide book, and has within its pages the information needed to make a quality table of your own.
