5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for woodworkers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Archaeology of York: Craft, Industry and Everyday Life: Wood and Woodworking in Anglo-Scandinavian and Medieval York v. 17, Fasc. 13 (The archaeology of York) (Paperback)
This is an excellent text, especially for woodturners interested in documenting period styles. At 450 pages, this beautiful book contains an amazing amount of detail concerning the wooden artifacts that have been found. As the focus of this book is on the artifacts dating from the 10th through 15th centuries, there is an impressive amount of interest to SCA woodworkers. This book should be of even greater interest to woodturners, as it has one of the best sets of diagrams showing period turned bowls and cups that I have seen, including inner and outer profiles. You can see a small sample here. In addition, there are multiple section on technique, including use of a bow lathe, methods used for making cups and bowls, and even how they would cut and use logs for various projects. There is simply such a wealth of information in this book that I can't begin to adequately list its contents, but an abbreviated list of highlights include: Woodturning forms, tools and a discussion of their use. Cask, barrel and bucket construction, including the only intact well-bucket from this period known. Wooden spoons, spatulas, pot lids and other domestic woodware. Boxes, including lathe turnes boxes. Wooden game boards and pieces Garderobe seats (yes, really). Breakdown of wooden items found by type of wood. If you have any interest in Medieval woodworking, you must get this book.
