Handwork in Wood (Classic Reprint)

This book is intended primarily for teachers of woodwork, but tiie author hopes that there will also be other workers in wood, professional and amateur, who will find in it matter of interest and profit. The successful completion of the book is due chiefly to the untiring assistance of my wife, Anna Gausmann Noyes, who has made almost all of the drawings, corrected the text, read the proof, and attended to numberless details.
