On Woodworking: Notes from a Lifetime at the Bench

On Woodworking: Notes From a Lifetime at the Bench picks up where With Saw, Plane and Chisel left off. This beautifully illustrated collection of short essays, personal experiences, notes, quips, and quotes examines the sublime craft of woodworking, the people and personalities we meet during our craft journey, and the nature of the most important element of woodworking, wood itself. Insightful, sometimes brash, and deeply funny, On Woodworking will not show you what or how to build but it may just help you understand why we build.
