Discover the versatility of wood

Includes step-by-step instructions to develop your own woodworking creations

A technical guide which also acknowledges the therapeutic nature of woodworking

Harald Lamon is a passionate woodworker. In Heart for Wood, he shares his love for wood in a well-tried way, focusing not only on the technical aspect of cutting with axes, saws and knives, but also on the feelings it evokes. Working with wood is not only relaxing, many even experience it as therapeutic.

Harald shows you step-by-step how you can transform this wonderful natural product into beautiful, sober, functional objects using solid hand tools. In his book, he mainly tries to get the reader excited about the craft and offers (relatively) simple creations such as coat racks, spoons, bowls and pots.
