Summary: Why the drastic price increase ??
Comment: I bought this book in 2004 and found it and the video very helpful . In 2004 I paid a total of around $55.00 for both .
Now I need a second copy of the book and find it listed by itself for $52.00.

Summary: Don't Waste Your Money
Comment: This book spends very little print space dealing with "how to", and a large amount of space promoting Minwax products, the wide array of power tools required, and how to market your product once it is made. I am a very experienced woodworker. I have all of the recommended tools, and with all of those Minwax sealers, stains and oils. But I am at the same place as a novice as to the fundamentals of selecting wood, debarking, drying, making tenons, drilling accurate mortices, etc. This book was no help whatsoever.

Summary: Practical book, but too little text
Comment: This is a practical book for working with dry softwood logs. Among others, it has 15 pages on tools, 35 p. on some basics (joinery, finishes...) and 50 p. on various projects. However this includes some big pictures and a lot of white space, or wasted space (e.g. a check list covering 4 pages, with only 15 items /page, and looking useless and stupid to me, pp. 37-40), so that in the end there is not much text per page in average. Although some traditional tools are exposed, everything in the book is meant to be made with power tools (but one could also use traditional tools).

This book does contain some real, practical teaching to help you build things (unlike a book with a deceptive title, Daniel Mac's Making Rustic Furniture). However, as it has so much white space and so little text, I think that it is definitely not worth its price (maybe it should be sold for about 10 dollars?).
If you want to get something for your money, buy instead Drew Langsner's Green Woodworking.

Summary: A good starting place
Comment: There are few reference works available in this category. Fortunately, this one is a useful, helpful, and clear guide to the art of making log furniture. We have yet to faithfully follow any of the authors' detailed step-by-step plans. The text and pictures were clear enough to enable us to start right off making our own derivative designs. Thanks, guys!
