Woodland crafts have a rich history stretching back over the centuries, and several varieties of them use coppice-grown material. Starting with the woodland itself - the foundation of all these fascinating crafts - Tom Kemp explores the history of an individual wood and of coppice crafts in general. Using a wonderful selection of images, Tom demonstrates the history and principles of individual crafts, covering a variety of different skills including woodland management; farm crafts such as hurdles (woven and gate); other woodland fencing (post and rail, medieval continuous woven), hedge-laying and hay rakes; home crafts such as turnery (spoons, bowls, mazers), chair and stool bodging, spelk baskets, and besoms; building in wood, including corduroy roads, wattle and daub, laths, thatching spars and shingles; wood in industry, including faggots (home, baking, bricks), charcoal, and tan bark; and crafts of the coast, including Frenchmen's pots, inkwell pots, ships' fenders, coracles and curraghs. To complete the picture, Tom also takes a look at the future of coppice crafts, including a discussion of both contemporary and continuing crafts.
