520 _a"Handwork in Wood" by William Noyes is a practical guide on woodworking techniques written in the early 20th century. The book primarily targets teachers of woodwork but also aims to engage both professional and amateur woodworkers with its content. It covers various topics related to lumbering, tools, joinery, and finishing wood, presenting a comprehensive approach to woodworking skills and knowledge. The opening of the book sets the stage by acknowledging various contributors who assisted in its preparation, along with a dedication to the author's students. It provides a foreword that clarifies the book's intent, emphasizing its instructional nature for teachers and enthusiasts alike. Following this, the content begins with the first chapter on logging, detailing the methods used in American logging operations, and laying the groundwork for the entire woodworking process that follows. This chapter explores the practices of land surveying, tree felling, and preparing logs for transport, thereby introducing readers to the foundational aspects of working with wood.
