The 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. Brooms, rakes, pegs, spoons, chairs, baskets, fencing and
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.
