Ingrained Legacy

by Judith Silverthorne

Ingrained Saskatchewan Pioneer Woodworkers 1870-1930 surveys the lives and creations of over eighty dedicated pioneer woodworkers who made their home in Saskatchewan, all of whom carved their creations by hand with locally available materials. Synopses of their lives, backgrounds, and talents are accompanied by over 400 black-and-white photographs and insights into the difficulty of survival in pioneer times. A "must-read" for anyone interested in the history of woodworking or seeking inspiration from those who considered it their passion when breaking ground in a new land.
