About this product

Product Information

The classic work on the tools and spirit of the Japanese master craftsman. In Japan, a woodworker spends years learning to use his tools with great speed and skill. Only after he has proved his mastery can he proudly call himself a shokunin , a master craftsman. Japanese Woodworking Tools brings the traditions and training of the shokunin to the Western world. Calling on his own apprenticeship as a tategu-shi (sliding-door maker), and on 40 years of woodworking experience, Toshio Odate here offers a complete guide to Japanese tools: thin saws that cut on the pull stroke, laminated chisels with hollowed backs, marking tools, waterstones, axes, hammers, and almost 50 different planes. Odate shows shows how each tool works, how it should be cared for and how it is meant to be used. He also shares stories and reminiscences that help bring home the traditions and spirit associated with each tool. Whether you're a curious beginner or an adventurous professional, Japanese Woodworking Tools will show you a whole new world of exciting craftsmanship.

  • Masterful coverage of the art of Japanese woodworking tools.

    Great read by one of the most knowlegeable experts on the subject in the world. Well worth the price and the time to read it. Good for reference as well as insightful perspective of a master craftsman who served his apprenticeship in Japan during a time when there were still some of the old masters available as tutors. Be hard pressed to top this on the subject matter which he so artfully covers.

  • Good resource book

    My uncle has this book and shared it with me because I have just started into woodworking. I wanted this one in my library because I thought it would be a good resource book to go back to for questions on technique or style. Look forward to doing woodworking projects in the future!
