Give your home a handmade touch with small, sustainable wood and brushwork projects you can make in an afternoon. Brushmaking tutorials, an ancient wood-scorching technique, and a series of small, approachable turning projects you can make with hardwood scraps--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, brushmakers, 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.
