Book excerpt: This illustrated woodworking guide combines traditional techniques with contemporary design for step-by-step projects and finishing techniques. Heirloom Wood is a love letter to the lasting beauty of wood through simple woodworking projects. 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. With little experience and very few tools, you’ll learn to create hand-carved bowls, cutting boards, spoons, knives, and spatulas, perfect for adding a touch of the handmade to your home. With further advice on finishing your projects—how to sand, ebonize, scorch, and texture the surfaces, as well as wax and oil your new kitchen creations—Heirloom Wood shows you how to imbue each object with a tangible history visible through the maker’s mark. With beautiful photography and clear how-to instruction, Heirloom Wood gives you everything you need to create timeless kitchen keepsakes to be passed down from generation to generation.
