Woodcraft

• Author: Barn

Explore a simpler way of working with wood that allows you to create beautiful crafts without the need for costly materials and machinery. With the mindful craft of green woodworking, all you need to begin is an unseasoned log, an ax, and a hand knife.

Discover how to carve objects such as spoons, bowls, and shrink pots, and construct simple pieces of furniture. From splitting your first log to constructing a chair with turned posts, spindles, and legs, Woodcraft demonstrates the wholesome skills of green woodworking and guides you through a series of rewarding projects.

Barnaby Carder, aka Barn the Spoon, opened his infamous London-based spoon shop in 2012 and his work popularizing spoon carving has earned him much international acclaim. Barn's collaborations, such as Spoonfest and Spoonclub, have helped raise the reputation of the humble wooden spoon. In Woodcraft, Barn builds on 20 years of craft and teaching, and his collaborations at The Green Wood Guild, to create a project list with the aim of inspiring readers to get involved with woodcraft and show them how.
