This book was written by a passionate woodworker who's dedicated to your adventure in the craftsmanship and art of learning woodworking.Have fun and increase your skills as a beginning woodworker while building 12 different and unique projects including free SketchUp 3D models. Much more than a simple project book, the techniques and methods taught are those of fine woodworking craftsmanship, and can benefit more experienced woodworkers. The extensively illustrated projects include:

• Step stool (an easy start)

• Safety
• Wood characteristics (composition, types, grain, color, and seasonal wood movement)
• Joinery and adding strength to joints
