This is a list of items that I own or hope to obtain for the show. If you’re looking for inspiration this is a good place to start as I have compiled book suggestions from as many prominent woodworkers who I respect here as possible.
Recently I’ve been updating my library using the tool Libib.com – Its a pretty cool visual way of working through the entire library, I’d suggest you take a look through here if you are browsing.
