TRÄ BOOK

With just a few tools and a little patience, you can craft wooden objects for the home that are as practical as they are beautiful. Unni Strid guides you through some twenty projects, ranging from brushes and whittled kitchen utensils to fretsaw work and furniture like coat racks, shelves, and tables. No machinery or prior experience is required—only hand tools and a desire to give it a try.

The designs are rooted in a long woodworking tradition—featuring mortise and tenons, wedges, half-lap joints, and screws—yet remain straightforward to follow and easy to adapt to your own ideas. The result is personal and tactile, and along the way you will gain a deeper understanding of wood as a living material and perhaps discover a new passion. Photography by Märta Thisner.
