Heirloom Wood: A Modern Guide to Carving Spoons, Bowls, Boards, and Other Homewares by Max Bainbridge

Heirloom Wood is a love letter to wood's form and function through simple woodworking projects. 

Combining traditional techniques with contemporary design, 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, beloved kitchen creations-each of your handcrafted projects will be imbued with a tangible history visible through the maker's mark.
