I skimmed this for how to sharpen my drawknife, but I've read it in the past. It's one of those types of woodcraft I'd like to play with, but you really need access to a woodlot or other source of green woods. It also shows you how to make some of the specialty tools and workholders and how to care for the slightly more mainstream tools. There are other good books on this subject, it's a popular subject.
