Product Description

Green woodwork is creative and inexpensive to learn. The beauty of working green (or unseasoned) wood is that by using traditional skills and a few simple tools you can make anything from a tent peg to a Windsor chair, without needing power machinary.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that launched a thousand pole lathes, 12 Dec 1999

By A Customer

The last bodger turned his last chair leg somewhere in a Chilterns beechwood in the late 1950s and the golden chain of a craft that had lasted at least 400 years was broken. Mike Abbott almost singlehandedly revived the the craft. This book gives detailed plans to build your own lathe and make your own chairs from unseasoned (green) wood. A classic. Buy it but do go on one of Mike's courses as well.

By A Customer

Great book if you want to have a good overview of all techniques involved in working with green, unseasoned wood. This includes extensive coverage of building your own pole lathe and shaving horse.

5.0 out of 5 stars green woodworking by Mike Abbot, 4 Feb 2009

By	Mrdlgoode "Goody" (Hereford UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book to give away to Mr Charles in Nhkota Bay, Malawi. He is the resident master carpenter in Mayoka Village which is where we stayed. It is community run by an english lady and her south african husband and they have with the help of the local chief and his tribe, turned a tropical hillside on the shores of Lake Nyasa into the most wonderful lodge. This comprises of eight or nine beautiful thatched guest-houses all fully furnished and a bar cum restaurant. I was asked to visit and bring tools and ideas for the future because in a way they had finished, so what comes next....? - having created this most amazingly detailed and sustainable nirvana for the visitor. How can we keep the team together? The plan was to start making furniture for sale off site ...Cultural imperialism was a problem, but along with 30 kilos of hand tools, this book with others was, I think food for change and future development.
Malawi has issues as it becomes more populated and moves into the 21 st century, Mike Abbot wrote this polemic to wake up Britain as to how to deal with the sustainable crisis in our woodlands. I think it might help out there.
