Woodworking in Estonia
By Ants Viires; translation by Mart Aru
It's one of Roy Underhill's three favourite woodworking books, but you can't buy a copy of it for love or money. Translated into English without the author's permission in the late 1960s, "Woodworking in Estonia" has been a cult classic ever since it first surfaced.
It is, according to Underhill, "one of the best books on...
Blue Spruce Round Mallet
Blue Spruce Round Mallets feature a maple head infused with a tough polymer resin that increases the density of the maple by 80%. The infused head puts more “smack” into less space than simple wooden headed mallets. In addition to concentrating power, the resin protects the wood fibers from compression. This beautiful tool will still look beautiful after chopping hundreds of dovetails and...
Gransfors Bruk Large Splitting Axe 442 - Standard 27'' Handle
Designed for splitting chunks of wood, 'rounds'. The axe head is quite heavy with forged cheeks on both sides of the blade, 'splitting wedge shaped crests' which power apart the grain of the wood. A Splitting Axe does not just have to slice into the wood - the thick axe blade pushes the wood apart.
The poll of this axe, like the poll on most axes, is definitely not designed for heavy...

Anyway, a few years later and the dynamic buying department of CHT sprung into action and finally started to stock...
