Give your home a handmade touch with small, sustainable wood and brushwork projects you can make in an afternoon.
Brush making tutorials, an ancient wood-scorching technique, and a series of small, approachable woodwork projects you can make with hardwood off-cuts—find these and more in woodworker and instructor Sophia Elouise’s landmark guide to traditional crafts made new.
The book includes
• Guides to using foundational woodworking tools such as the pull saw, hand plane, and lathe;
• Techniques such as brush binding and sho sugi ban (yakisugi), or wood scorching (a finishing technique that doubles as an impactful coloring method);
• Eight illustrated step-by-step projects for coasters, candleholder, bowl, bud vases, chopping board, wooden utensils, hand broom, and handled brush; and
• Discussions on design methods, sustainability, natural materials, and troubleshooting, plus a handy glossary.
Beginner-to-intermediate woodworkers, brush makers, and anyone looking to create a more sustainable, thoughtfully curated home will find this book a valuable resource to build their skills and create something practical and beautiful in the process.
Pre-order available with shipping available from the end of July.
