Working with green, or fresh, wood is an old rural tradition that is being rediscovered today. The basic idea is to work with the wood and nature, not against it. Part of the required tools are also made from wood, such as a shaving horse, wooden mallet, sawhorse, and axe handles. Sjors van der Meer and Job Suijker explain how to do this in their book »Frisches Holz« in a fresh and cheerful manner. They show how to harvest and treat fresh wood: splitting, cutting, shaping. Once these basics are learned, it's time to get making: various stools, a bench, shingles, spoons, and even a chair. It's an exciting and motivating introduction to a natural, simple, and fascinating way of woodworking.
