Trä : Snickerihandbok för inredning och odling
I Trä lär du dig de grundläggande snickerikunskaper som behövs för att kunna inreda hemmet med personliga och vackra bruksföremål. Med utgångspunkt i bokens 20 projekt, anpassade för dig som kanske inte rört en såg sedan träslöjden, guidas du steg för steg igenom de tekniker som gör dig till vän med sågar, hyvlar, tvingar och stämjärn.
Boken innehåller praktisk brädgårdskunskap, det vill säga hur man väljer bra träslag och virkets egenskaper, en verktygsgenomgång med tonvikt på handverktyg, samt metoderna som används för att mäta, såga, hyvla, sammanfoga, tälja och ytbehandla på ett sätt som gör att du öppnar upp möjligheten till att snickeri för hemmet blir en rolig och givande hobby.
Bland projekten finns köksföremål som kryddhylla, knivställ, skärbräda och örttork, inredningsföremål som prylhylla, pall, knopplist, bokstöd och balkongbänk. För den odlingsintresserade finns blombord, odlingsbänkar, växtspaljéer och annat, både för inomhus- och utomhusmiljöer. Alla projekt är pedagogiskt illustrerade och svårighetsnivånanpassad efter läsare som inte har stor vana av att arbeta med trä, men som gillar materialets organiska känsla och uttryck.
Moa Brännström Ott frilansar som finsnickare och arbetar mest medspecialritade möbler och objekt till bland annat restauranger och konstnärer. Ofta arbetar hon tillsammans med formgivare, framförallt designgruppen Uglycute. Hon haren examen från Capellagårdens utbildning i möbelsnickeri.

Lærerik og oversiktlig. Mange gode tips jeg tar med meg videre! Gleder meg til å teste noen av oppskriftene.

A well-laid out presentation with diagrams, illustrations, and photos that make the material accessible to the amateur. This educates about wood types, tool types, and even has a conversion chart. The specific projects look approachable.
May come back to this book in the near future, spring or summer? An herb drying rack, or maybe the stacked garden boxes, a planter, a table?
A couple of cautions - sometimes the text says one thing and the picture shows another. In Sawing (p. 55) the text suggests using a clamp to hold wood on the miter box, but the picture shows sawing right next to an unprotected hand.
In fact, there are an awful lot of pictures of sawing next to a hand holding the wood. P. 53 in particular looks like an ad for what NOT to do - one slip, one distraction, and goodbye thumb? Yikes!
One of the many cool things in this book are discussions of wood types, simple images of tree shapes. Anyone who finds wood appealing will learn things here.
Another inspiring aspect is the descriptions of how to use manual tools, e.g. chisels, instead of electric machines, e.g. specialty saws. There is enough guidance to learn and practice with these before committing to a project. And that makes for a lot of choice and personal touches even for the novice.
---2nd look---
Did return to this book, and recognize that it is as much a peek into the culture as into 'basic skills'. The wood drying rack (pp. 80-83) is very open-air and the levels are 'connected' with loose rope knotted under each layer. So no dust, tall ceilings, no earthquakes/tornadoes/hurricanes? Sure, that's Scandinavia?
A 'bedroom light' attaches a wood fixture to a wood wall. As does the balcony table. Items indoors and out are simple, delicate, so ... tons of wood everywhere, and no bears, no coyotes, wolves, deer, raccoons, possums?
The items are airy, light, as if they are designed for Tolkein's elves. Wait! That's it! Mountains, high altitude ... nope, it's very close to sea level. Northern latitude? Network of islands?
The shoe rack with bench (pp. 118-123) looks delicate. No mat underneath to catch slush or water, a woven seat that is probably plenty strong but looks like a dog would jump right through it. The projects look like they are in a design catalog rather than an active household.
Whether or not one attempts the projects, this is a fun and informative book, inspiring creative thinking on several fronts.
A better title might be Swedish Woodworking Basics. The projects look lovely, for one who has the time and space. (Recommended.)
