Mags, books etc etc

John Hoffman

>Posted on the regular board by mistake.

Just replied on a post on the other board and got thinking about the whole culture and other issues that come out a bit in Adam's Arts and Mysteries column in Pop wood. I have heard of other publications that cover colonial living and give a glimps into what the world was like at the time. We are all familiar with the mags that cover woodworking and of course Moxon. Does anyone have any other mags that are of interest to period woodworking or deal with colonial or English 18th century times?

>Any book by Langsner or Roy Underhill will be a good start.

John Alexander`s Make a Chair From a Tree gives good insight on green woodworking,riving,etc.

Dunbar`s Restoring Tuning& Using Clasic Wood Tools is back in print and will help get the old tools working right before work begins.

I`m sure others will add to the list,these are just a few that came to mind.
