Description
From the back cover:
If the high cost of seasoned wood is keeping you out of the workshop, let woodworker Patrick Spielman show you how you can turn inexpensive green wood into clocks, tables, and other beautiful household objects.
PEG is an easy-to-use and readily obtainable chemical with a long name: polyethylene glycol 1000. Although commercial woodworkers have been using it to treat wood for 20 years, this is the first book that tells you how you can use it at home. Once you treat your green wood with PEG, it will no longer shrink, warp, swell, check, or crack - ever, no matter where or how you use it!
Spielman tells you everything you need to know about working green wood with PEG: sources of supply, what wood to use, how to mix the solution, and how to treat, dry, and finish the wood. You will then learn how to turn your PEG-treated material into these beautiful projects: wall clocks, bowls, candle holders, bookends, carvings, table legs, slab tables, weed pots, mantel clocks, lamps, vases, picture holders.
To make it easy for you, the author gives you more than 200 drawings and step-by-step photographs. In fact, he makes working green wood with PEG so easy, you may never work with seasoned wood again.
