An essential resource for any traditional woodland crafter, a book by Ray Tabor, the unparalleled expert on green woodworking.

Green Woodworking Pattern Book features over 300 patterns for traditional craft designs, with projects ranging from fences, gates, garden furniture, and benches, to stools, walking sticks, and door wedges.

This book includes designs for home and garden, such as wattle gates, lemon juicers, chairs, stools, baskets, whistles, and spoonsβ€”all with detailed dimensions in both metric and imperial units. Each item has annotated black-and-white patterns, a brief description, historical information, and details of the materials that should be used. The projects range from the simplest woodland designs to more advanced ones, with something for everyone.

Both a historical record and a sourcebook for those looking to use their green woodworking skills to create traditional items of beauty, this book should be on the shelf of anyone interested in whittling, woodland crafts, or any kind of woodworking.
