Critics Review
This thoughtful, multi-skill, how-to book for creating custom-fit wooden furniture with handwoven seating appeals to both woodworkers and weavers. The authors ask users to consider body and equipment measurements when designing weaving benches, spinning chairs, and barstools for an ergonomic fit. This resource is for skilled woodworkers with access to a well-stocked woodshop, as well as power and hand tools. It is also for intermediate to experienced fiber artists interested in weaving their own comfortable benches or chairs.–Tina Bliss Tim Moran “Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot”
