I’m not into woodwork. Definitely not a handyman when it comes to woodwork skills.. I seriously doubt that this book would do me any good 🙂
I took a course one semester, I have a wooden bowl that is very thin in parts:)
The Victor D’Amico Institute of Art (aka “The Art Barge”) is another worthwhile project, still alive and well:

Love this green book with black nails on the cover. It would make my coffee table in a minute.
