Excellent Book
I bought this for my youngest daughter, who has expressed interested in woodworking. This book explains tools, woods, etc very well, and is a great reference for both beginners and experienced woodworkers.

Great Book
As someone who is new to boatbuilding, this provided the foundation and reference point for going back and understanding the breadth and width of the tools available.

Most admired illustrator
I bought 2 copies: one for my beloved nephew, who’s starting woodworking, and one for myself, because it’s Jan Adkins. I was the illustrator for Harry Donovan’s “Arena(Entertainment) Rigging” whose author insisted he didn’t want “any art stuff” and only gave me indecipherable stick figures as examples. Book illustration is (I think) very difficult and Jan Adkins does the best I’ve ever seen.
