We’re pleased to announce that Drew Langsner’s “Country Woodcraft: Then & Now” is back in stock.
In this update to his 1978 classic, the original text is intact, and the old photos are in black and white. Throughout this edition book, Drew has added text, which is in a slightly different font, to explain what he does differently now after 40 years of daily work on the North Carolina farm he shares with his wife, Louise.
In many ways, the book is a delightful conversation between the younger Drew, who is happy to chop down trees with a felling axe, and the older Drew, who now uses an electric chainsaw and band saw to break down stock to conserve energy (and likely aspirin). New illustrations and color photos throughout show how Drew works now.
The 1978 edition of “Country Woodcraft” inspired a generation of woodworkers to make spoons, bowls and other handy home implements. We hope that “Country Woodcraft: Then & Now” continues to inspire another generation.
