Wonderfully talented author and artist. Engaging writing, beautiful hand-drawn illustrations. This book is absolutely amazing! Such beautiful drawings and sketches. A favorite book for years. A great way to see the world around you in a different way.... Read More
Brilliant historical accounts of a bygone era that are laid out with such magnetic romance. Accurate texts yet still make you feel a sense of fantasy for yesteryear. Loads of interesting facts.
God bless this great man.
Cons
This is a shrunk-down re-print. The font is much smaller than the original. Hard to truly enjoy sloane's amazing illustrations.

Highlights
Quality
Old tools, old ways and great framable art - a true gentlelman of the past
A must-have for any boy in love with wood, building, and carving!
It will give you a better feel for early american life as far as the impact wood had on life itself.
The level of expertise of those who came before us is often not recognized and their skills and insights are lost.
Price
I enjoyed this book and learned a lot - well worth the price.
Competitiveness
The book is a bit different from what i expected, but it is just as good as i'd hoped.
