    Reading this is like sitting at a table with an old craftsman....
  

*by P***1 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 22, 2013*

Reading this is like sitting at a table with an old craftsman, hearing about his life and his passion for wood and lumber. This book has little to offer the production woodworker or weekend hobbist building shelves out of plywood. Rather, this book delves into the life of James Krenov, his travels, his perspective, and his view of his life as a woodworker/cabinetmaker. If you have ever felled a tree, sawn it open, and discovered a beautiful piece of wood lying beneath the bark, then you will appreciate this book.It is well written, with a flow that suggests Mr. Krenov is talking with you as his apprentice, expressing his opinion of important observations he has made during his career. I found it fasicnating the he admitted he sometimes begins a project with building the drawers or doors first. He explains himself and his reasoning, which helps clarify his methodology. I was able to extract several new philosophical approaches that I shall incorporate into my own woodoworking.This book will likely appeal to a very small, but appreciative audience. I would recommend it highly to any woodworker who harvests his or her own wood, usually works with air-dried lumber, exotic lumbers, or custom pieces.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not for me
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2017*

This book is well written and James Krenov certainly has had much expertise and ability as a cabinet maker. His use of some very exotic woods is fascinating. Pictures of his work prove him to be an exceptional woodworker. It may be that it is not a book that will help me to progress from the little bit of knowledge and experience, I now have, to improve my craft that limits me from rating this book higher. I will never, ever, be able to work with many of the woods he has used; places he has visited; how he feels about things but not one step-by-step instruction or lesson on making any specific joint for instance.  Unless one want to read about what a guy thinks about wood, craftsmanship...and several other things (i.e. pets) this may be an interesting book for you. It is written more like a diary (okay notebook) than a book of instruction / teaching / developing skills... It is not worth the price I paid - for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent Work for those that believe there is more to woodwork than nailing 2 bits of wood together
  

*by W***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 30, 2014*

From a philosophical point of view this is more a journal of the relationship one man has with the timber he works with rather than a how to guide. I love it as, in my opinion, it ties the living energies of the maker and the materials he works with together. I have had similar experiences, while working with wood, that he describes and above all it made me realise that I wasn't mad or if I was I was in the good company of others that are more sensitive to the world around them than those focusing on the time sheets and making a quick buck. Inspirational reading for the right person.
