The Woodworkers is another fabulous book from Bobbie Kalman, an author who never disappoints readers eager to learn history. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and artwork, the book reveals the life and work of people who made houses, barrels, furniture, wheels, carriages and ships. By the time you turn the last page, you'll know the names of these trades, how they worked, the tools they used, and how to go from apprentice to journeyman! I don't think you could ask for more!
