Brushmaking tutorials, an ancient wood-scorching technique, and a series of small, approachable turning projects made with hardwood scraps—find these and more in woodworker and instructor Sophia Elouise’s guide to traditional crafts made new.

The book includes

• guides to using foundational woodworking tools such as the pull saw, hand plane, and lathe (with overviews on foot-powered and modern lathes);
• techniques such as brush binding and sho sugi ban (yakisugi), or wood scorching (a finishing technique that doubles as an impactful coloring method);
• eight illustrated step-by-step projects for coasters, candleholder, bowl, bud vases, chopping board, wooden utensils, hand broom, and handled brush; and
• discussions on design methods, sustainability, natural materials, and troubleshooting, plus a handy glossary.

Beginner-to-intermediate woodworkers, brushmakers, and anyone looking to create a more sustainable, thoughtfully curated home will find this book a valuable resource to build their skills while creating something practical and beautiful.
