Book Reviews of A Reverence for Wood
Book Review: Wood Widow
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband read this book cover to cover the first day he received it. When he was considering giving up his dental practice I gave him a gift of woodwork lessons taught by a very talented young man in our area. For some reason, dentists seem to love carving, lots of detail and intricacies. He spends hours with his projects in order to get "the right feel" to the wood. He collects old tools and reworks them. At any rate, he was so taken with this particular book and wanted me to relate that to your readers. He also appreciated the seller expediting the book, in perfect condition in paperback, which is what my husband requested. Unfortunately, or maybe not, he doesn't use a computer himself.
Summary of A Reverence for Wood
Refreshingly written, delightfully illustrated book remarks expansively on the resourcefulness of early Americans in their use of this valuable commodity ? from the crafting of furniture, tools, and buildings to the use of such by-products as charcoal and medicine. "One of Sloane's best books." ? Library Journal. 69 black-and-white illustrations.
