Heirloom Wood is a love letter to wood's form and function, serving as the essential manual for the modern DIYer and maker looking to craft beautiful, lasting pieces.
With this handsome, gift-ready book, learn to create hand-carved bowls, cutting boards, spoons, and spatulas--bespoke homewares perfect for adding a unique, handmade touch to your home.
This guide combines traditional techniques with contemporary design, showing you how simple it is to turn raw wood into treasured objects with minimal tools. Author Max Bainbridge teaches you to identify wood types, source timber (often using sustainable or reclaimed materials), and set up a basic, inexpensive toolbox.
Mastering this accessible craft is a powerful act of DIY, allowing you to create high-end, custom kitchenware that would cost a fortune in stores, thus providing a real path to saving money while enriching your life.
With beautiful photography and clear, step-by-step instructions on carving, sanding, ebonizing, and waxing, Heirloom Wood gives you all the advice and inspiration you need to create timeless kitchen keepsakes--imbued with your maker's mark--to be passed down from generation to generation.
Combining traditional techniques with contemporary design, Max Bainbridge teaches you how to identify wood types, source timber, and set up a basic toolbox, then offers step-by-step carving and cutting techniques for making your own pieces.
