In this richly illustrated book, author and master craftsman Alex Bealer tells the fascinating story of woodworking in colonial America, enthusiastically describing and clearly depicting a wide array of devices – from axes wielded by frontiersmen to clear the land and build log cabins, to carpenters' saws, planes, and hammers, and furniture-makers' chisels, bevels, lathes, and calipers.
