For some people there is something very appealing about making a piece of furniture with components 'pre-shaped' by nature. Waney edges, knots, bark, branch and twig wood are on show, with no intent to machine them back to square and flat surfaces. The wood can tell its own story as the maker artfully selects, arranges and joins these natural forms. This book is a tutorial in effectively preparing and joining this kind of wood while preserving its character. The author shows how to make various tables, benches, stools and chests that can in turn be varied. This is fine woodwork that doesn't depend on close tolerances.
