Description
Woodland Craft Handbook is an inspirational yet practical guide to traditional crafts, woodland coppice products and forest permaculture.
Step into the shoes of woodsman Ben Law as he explores this diverse collection of crafts made from materials sourced directly from the woods.
Crafts including:
- Brooms
- Rakes
- Pegs
- Spoons
- Chairs
- Baskets
- Fencing
- Walking sticks
The items are one-off and unique, hewn and shaped by hand, infused with a simple, rustic beauty.
With fascinating information on the history and traditions of the crafts, coppice management, tree species and the tools and devices used, we learn about all aspects of the low-impact woodland way of life.
Much as the traditional techniques associated with the woods were passed down through families, this book aims to help secure their relevance and adapt them for future generations.
The book features 220 photographs and 123 illustrations.
