Quercus | Nov/Dec 23
The Chairmakers Toolbox is introducing woodwork to a whole new audience, and this issue founder Aspen Golann tells us how they have won more than $100,000 in awards to do so. Then there’s a report from Handworks 2023 in Iowa, possibly the most important show for woodworkers who love hand-tools. And we have practical things too. You can find out how to cut a dovetail in five minutes, and with chairs in mind, make a travisher for next to nothing from a spokeshave, and coincidentally discover to put handles on a spoon makers drawknife.
