Very Good. 2007. Skyhorse Publishing, NY. Unmarked. Paperback. Binding tight, solid & square. Illustrated b&w. Practical guide to selecting, drying, and fashioning unfinished logs and branches into rustic tables, gates, footbridges, and garden shelters, w/ an introduction by rustic design historian Ralph Kylloe. Ships from the USA, quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: This historical manual on traditional woodworking provides practical instructions for building with unfinished timber. Readers find guidance on utilizing the natural textures, contours, and shapes of tree branches, trunks, and shrubs to construct functional outdoor objects. Projects detailed within the text include rustic tables, flower stands, gates, porches, aviaries, footbridges, and garden shelters. Each guide prioritizes using basic hand tools and accessible techniques, making the craft approachable for woodworkers of all experience levels. Featuring numerous detailed diagrams, vintage schematics, and construction plates, the work serves as an illustrated technical archive. The illustrations outline specific joints, fastening methods, and framing designs necessary to secure organic timber. Ralph Kylloe, a recognized historian of Adirondack-style rustic design, provides a contextual introduction for this publication. Skyhorse Publishing issued this particular edition in New York as a faithful preservation of the early twentieth-century trade handbook. Originally compiled and published in 1907 by Cassell and Company, the manual reflects the architectural and decorative values of the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras. Traditional technical editor Paul Nooncree Hasluck gathered these methods to document practical country crafts as industrial mechanization expanded. Greenwood woodworking traditions and hand-tool utility are emphasized throughout, offering a window into historical trade school curricula. The resulting text preserves vernacular building skills that remain in use in modern historical preservation and organic architecture.…

Shipping terms
DOMESTIC SHIPPING:
We offer a choice of media mail (when applicable), first class, priority and/or expedited whenever possible. Choices for shipping methods vary and will appear at checkout (as well as additional opportunities to purchase insurance, extra insurance, etc.). All domestic orders include tracking.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
International shipping has become increasingly complex, but we do our best to keep up. If you have any questions regarding shipping to your country, feel free to reach out before you order. We will do our best to give you an exact quote.
All international orders include tracking and insurance. Expedited orders generally ship via USPS, DHL or Priority Mail International depending on the destination. Consolidated shipping is usually via Asendia or a similar, reliable carrier.
**VAT, Fees & Taxes: **
Where your country requires, and when under the value threshold set by your country, VAT is collected at checkout and remitted by the marketplace you ordered through. Any additional fees, duties, or taxes your country or carrier charges upon arrival are the buyer's responsibility (collected by your postal service or carrier when the package is delivered). The one exception is the European Union (see below).
The European Union:
As of 2026, the EU has added a new customs duty on every parcel entering the Union. Because of this, we are now required to prepay all duty and customs (DDP) before shipping, which is why you may notice that our EU rates run significantly higher than other countries. Additionally, on orders over 150 Euros, the full VAT tax due, over and above €150, is most often not collected by marketplaces at checkout. We may contact you through the marketplace you ordered to collect these additional VAT fees before shipping.
Typical speeds:
Although customs and overseas carrier delays sometimes happen and are outside of our control, the following should be a good guide (Business days only). If you need it faster, feel free to reach out. Sometimes we can achieve the “almost” impossible :)
