Reviews

These fifteen-plus woodworking projects seem simple, yet there's complexity behind the elegant design. Author Okrend boasts major credentials, having been an editor at Workbench and Handy magazines. There is a ton of practical advice up front and throughout: he emphasizes passive and active safety, and includes recommendations on wood selection and basic tools needed.

A wonderful guide to practical woodworking projects for the kitchen. Informative, educational, and easy to follow for the novice woodworker, yet filled with optional advanced techniques for more seasoned readers. A valuable addition to any woodworking library.
