With "The Woodwright's Companinon," Roy Underhill continues to
demonstrate "how to start with a tree and an axe and make one thing
after another until you have a house and everything in it." This
volume features chapters on helves and handles, saws, the search
for the whetstone quarry, crow chasers and turkey calls, hurdles,
whimmy diddles, snaplines and marking gauges, candle stands,
planes, window sash, riven shingles, and pit sawing. The final
chapter offers a glimpse of traditional woodworking techniques
still used by the Colonial Williamsburg housewrights. More than 260
photographs complement the text.
