《彼得·科恩木工基础》是一本木工入门书，2003年至今稳居木工书畅销榜首，近10万人验证成功的木工学习之路。1993年，美国“家具手工艺中心”校长彼得·科恩，亲笔写出这本基础、诚意的木工学习书。2003年，作者对书中的内容进行了全面修订，专业摄影师吉姆·杜根为新版本提供了大量精彩的照片。
20年来，《彼得·科恩木工基础》一直是美国最畅销的木工书，陪伴着成千上万的爱好者踏上了可靠的学习和实践之路——而木工在美国的流行度也与日俱增。
20年后，经过两名爱好者兼译者的两轮细心翻译，和一名台湾木工——何美莹老师（何老师曾于2000年在美国从师于作者）的审阅，《彼得·科恩木工基础》终于能与中国读者相见。

手作爱好者在玩遍杂货小物布置后，对于家，总有更大、更实用的空间需求，于是木工，就是最能满足进阶ＤＩＹ的一个项目了。民间的木工教室正蓬勃，而耕耘多年、累积众多乡村木作爱好者的台湾最大木工教室小鹿木工房，则可说是个中翘楚。本书集结了小鹿木工多年丰富的教学经验，提供给所有想要动手做木工的人，最容易入门、循序渐进的技巧及方法。
就从四件作品开始吧！作者巧妙地将开始做木工需要学会的知识与技巧，都放进了四件基础木作中，从曲线切割、结构了解，再进入复杂一点的抽屉制作、门板装设，通过1000张以上的图解，详实解说各种手工木工家具的制作重点，接下来，只要融会贯通，就可以开始设计自己的木家具啰！

This work provides an insight into the history of Welsh stick chairs and includes instructions on how to make a chair, covering methods of bending the wood for chair construction. Illustrations show each stage in the building process.

一把现身于画作的无名之椅，梵高赋予其颜色，三位“人间国宝”为之惊叹。从一把经典木椅读懂民艺之美。青山周平诚挚推荐。
一把吉卜赛人手作的无名之椅，现身于梵高名作《在阿尔勒的卧室》，因此被日本民艺家命名为“梵高椅”。三位日本“人间国宝”为之惊叹，中村好文称其“栖宿着座椅的灵魂”。它的制椅工艺濒临消失，却吸引木艺巨匠黑田辰秋两度亲赴西班牙考察，并启发他为日本皇居宫殿创作了代表日本的座椅。它被日本民艺馆永久收藏，也进入寻常人家，成为代代相承的心爱之物。
民艺品蕴含的智慧与美感，木艺领域首位“人间国宝”追寻40年的制椅梦想，尽在始于这把椅子的故事中。

This is a photo gallery of 150 Shaker pieces, many seen here for the first time. It gives insights on Shaker design and a detailed historical and design notes on each piece.'

Krenov once again provides instruction and inspiration to his legions of fans. In this oversized format you'll find 100 black-and-white photographs, 47 in color, and an intimate text that showcases the peak of his talent. The pictures by Bengt Carlen reveal the signature on all of Krenov's pieces-- precision, delicacy, quiet strength, intricate grains, satin-smooth finishes, matched joints, attention to detail, and a respect for the tools and materials themselves. These are but a few of the more than 20 examples exhibited in this collection--*a cabinet of old Swedish elm *a writing table of Italian walnut *a no-glass showcase of lemon wood *a wall cabinet of English brown oak *plus numerous others. 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 11 1/2.

A reprint of two rare catalogs (circa 1908-1910) delineating the early achievement of furniture makers (brothers of Gustav Stickley) who played a key role in the Arts and Crafts movement in America, with captioned illustrations of over 200 of their furniture designs -- many rarely seen in recent years.

Most woodworking books show one how to make things. Krenov's, on the other hand, suggests why someone should make them. This title, featuring work by both Krenov and his students at the College of the Redwoods, illustrates his philosophy of design and craft without being bogged down by the pretentiousness that such books frequently exhibit. His work, and that of his students, exhibits an aesthetic beauty that is rarely seen (the vivid color photographs are superb and do justice to their fine work). Krenov inhabits the highest level of the woodcraft pantheon now in his 80s he continues to teach and create incredible work. Comprehensive public and academic libraries should consider this title.

442 3213 "The Shaker Bend" 15 December 2012
From their furniture to their bentwood boxes, the Shakers may be our most modern artisans.

The Shakers produced many incredible furniture objects that we continue to venerate today. For the woodworker the fascination is often rooted in the essential simplicity of the work. Interest in Shaker design is as strong today as it was when the first edition of this book was published in 1977, possibly stronger. This ongoing interest is the direct result of the inherent beauty of Shaker design-beauty that stems not only from form, but from superb workmanship, a commitment to utility and a total understanding of material.
