Description
On a farmlike compound near New Hope, Pennsylvania, the author, his family, and fellow wood-workers create exquisite furniture from richly grained, rare timber. This book is an intimate look at his artistry, his philosophy, his life. The author's search for the meaning of life took him as a young man to Paris, Tokyo, and Pondicherry, India. In India, he found the inner peace for which he had been searching and began to find ways to work with timber. He writes about the grandeur of ancient trees and stunning figured woods and explains how he selects and prepares his materials. Above all, he impresses us with his devotion to discovering the inherent beauty of wood so that noble trees might have a second life as furniture.
