Give your home a handmade touch with small, sustainable wood and brushwork projects you can make in an afternoon.

Give your home a handmade touch with small, sustainable wood and brushwork projects you can make in an afternoon.

Brushmaking tutorials, an ancient wood-scorching technique, and a series of small, approachable turning projects you can make with hardwood scraps—find these and more in woodworker and instructor Sophia Elouise’s landmark guide to traditional crafts made new.

The book includes

• guides to using foundational woodworking tools such as the pull saw, hand plane, and lathe;
• techniques such as brush binding and sho sugi ban (yakisugi), or wood scorching (a finishing technique that doubles as an impactful coloring method);
• eight illustrated step-by-step projects for coasters, candleholder, bowl, bud vases, chopping board, wooden utensils, hand broom, and handled brush; and
• discussions on design methods, sustainability, natural materials, and troubleshooting, plus a handy glossary.

Beginner-to-intermediate woodworkers, brushmakers, and anyone looking to create a more sustainable, thoughtfully curated home will find this book a valuable resource to build their skills and create something practical and beautiful in the process.
