When we released “Make a Joint Stool from a Tree,” it was our most expensive book – and it was also the most expensive book for us to make. We heard from a fair number of readers that they were interested in the title, but that the price was too high.

Just finished my joint stool this summer. The book was worth twice the price.
Where did you get the green wood?
I really enjoyed the book, too.
A neighbour’s gift from Sandy. Had a little twist, but I was able to work around it. Go for it.
I bought this book a few weeks ago. Glad I did. Peter Follansbee is awesome, and the historic information is priceless. I owned a copy of each of the books that Lost Art Press publishes except for this one. I delayed buying it because of the price. Sorry I waited so long. It’s well worth the price.
This book changed the way I look at and think of furniture and furniture making. If you build furniture for a sense of satisfaction, for function, for the relationship with materials and tools – you’ll find this book to be quietly transformative. You’ll find yourself digging deeper in the flea market bins instead of dropping $40 bucks on a router bit. You’ll be tuning up your hand planes, chisels and gouges; wasting less time in big box stores. If you’re into authentic skills over disposable power tools, this book will save you hundreds. I may never build a joint stool, but I sure get a kick out of seeing a 300 year old example in a museum.
