The wooden one of the few remaining materials which brings us back to nature, for this in my house I love to surround myself with a lot of wooden objects, particularly artistic but simple common use, and this book teaches very well as poterseli also do it yourself. Explains techniques, tools, different types of wood to choose from to get the best result. As it says in the text "get your hands on a piece of wood also a spiritual experience to try to figure out how to bring out the secret that keeps the form that therein lies ...". I totally agree, the wood "has a soul" and always exciting for me to think that an item purchased from a mountain artisan or preform alone (not to need as before, but also for fun only) in the past was a tree, aged in a distant forest, the mountains, and now continues to live, and to give me the bizarre pattern of its veins and its incomparable aroma that never fades. I follow a lot the production of artistic woods of Valle d'Aosta, and amazing what they can produce in those places artists; this book the first step to start what could be a wonderful adventure !!!
