The Green Woodworker’s Pattern Book
looks like an essential resource for traditional crafts in wood. It holds more than 300 patterns and plans for traditional craft projects - fences, gates, and garden furniture, through benches and stools and small tools. All plans have metric and imperial measurements, so there are no messy or inaccurate conversions. Every plan has clearly annotated black-and-white line drawings and plans, a description, some details of historical use and placement where relevant, and information on the timbers types and materials that should be used. Old style tools such as cleaves, rounders, shaves, horses and setting frames are covered, as are fencing and gates from post and rail to wattles and field gates, along with garden furniture and tools, turnery, chairs, baskets and miscellaneous household tools.
