AN INITIATION TO TRADITIONAL WOODWORKING CRAFTSMANSHIP WITH DETAILED EXPLANATIONS ON MAKING TOOLS FOR BUILDING FURNITURE, BEEHIVES, INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT OF ALL KINDS. APPEALING TO BOTH DO-IT-YOURSELF ENTHUSIASTS, AND THOSE WHO ENJOY THE FOREST, THINGS MADE WITH PASSION AND RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. THE APPROACH IS BOTH TECHNICAL AND ETHNOGRAPHIC.
