Living Wood
Living Wood - From Buying a Woodland to Making a Chair is now in its third edition.
It is intended both as a practical manual and an inspirational guide and falls into four distinct sections:
Becoming a green woodworker - Mike's story, from growing up in the woodlands near Bristol to owning a share in a woodland in Herefordshire;
Setting up a woodland workshop
- the process of buying a woodland and developing the facilities including an access track, a woodland workshop and kitchen and a compost toilet. Mike also covers methods of harvesting wood both by hand and with machinery for woodwork and for firewood;
Fitting out a woodland workshop - plans for a shelter, updated designs for a shaving horse and a height-adjustable pole-lathe, new information on tools and a detailed chapter on sharpening;
Making ladderback chairs - new techniques for ultra-tight joints without glue, which make use of the irregular shrinkage of wood as it dries out. Also new designs including armchairs and rocking chairs and details of seating with bark and with rope;
The book finishes with a chapter outlining the green-wood revival over the last thirty years plus useful information on "woody"organisations, suppliers and books.
The book is beautifully illustrated by Mike's wife Tamsin, and has useful colour and black and white photos. This book is packed with accessible information on how to make woodland products ranging from Mike's famous baby-rattles to a portable woodland shelter. If you are dreaming of buying a wood, have already bought one, or just love woodland, Living Wood is a book that will inform your mind and lift your spirits.
