Roy Underhills New Book
I just want to celebrate that Roy Underhill (reverently referred to by many hand tool enthusiasts as "Saint Roy") is coming out with a new book! Yes! His last book, The Woodwrights Apprentice was published in 1996, so it has been much too long! The new book is titled The Woodwrights Guide: Working Wood with Wedge and Edge. It looks like it will be available in November. I cant wait!
Details on the new book are available at the University of North Carolina Press website.
If you have seen my library link, you have probably figured out that I love books. Well, I can honestly say that Roys books are my all-time favorites. If you have never read Roys books, you are missing out on the best of the best! Seriously, I have read them all multiple times and continue to enjoy and learn from them. If you ever have the chance to see Roy live - do it! I was lucky enough to spend three days listening, watching and learning from Roy at a seminar in Anchorage and my woodworking has never been the same again.
