Drawing you in with his familiar tone and ease of story telling, Richard Crow takes you on a charming journey to discover how it is that one man's business and hobby could develop into the singular greatest individual wood collection in the world. Not boastful and always straightforward, the tale of his life mixes with the tale of his life's work, so that it comes to what may seem the perfect, and predestined, conclusion for both - a collection admired and appreciated by everyone from novice to serious wood collector and even those who merely appreciate a beautiful piece of wood in a piece of furniture, a musical instrument, or any item that can be made of wood. This book is for everyone who enjoys the love of collecting or simply a wonderful story laced with historical anecdotes.
