In 1978, Drew Langsner released his book »Country Woodcraft« to the world. Over 304 pages he explained how to split wood from the forest and shape it into anything you might need, from a spoon to a bowl, from a hay fork to a milking stool, a pine besom to a dining table. After more than 40 years, Drew has revisited this long-out-of-print and important book to revise and expand it to encompass what he has learned since »Country Woodcraft« was first released. The result is »Country Woodcraft: Then & Now«, which has been expanded by 100 pages and has updated throughout. Among many other additions, it includes greatly expanded sections on building shavehorses, carving spoons and making green-wood bowls. New illustrations and colour photos throughout show how Drew works nowadays.
