| Quantcast | AlexaMy name is John Alexander. I have practiced greenwoodworking for 30 years. I wrote one of the first books on the subject, Make a Chair from a Tree: An Introduction to Working Green Wood. The book has been a part of and, hopefully, contributed to the growing interest in the practice of traditional crafts. The book title itself ultimately led to coining the word "greenwoodworking". The book, first published in 1978 by Taunton Press, is now out of print. If you are looking for a copy, the Enlarged Edition, published by Astragal Press is suggested. My 1999 video of the same name replaces the book. A number of my articles on greenwoodworking subjects are available on this web site. I taught classes for 25 years. I thank all my students and teaching assistants for their friendship, challenge, spirit and ideas. I no longer teach; I am redirecting my efforts to research and writing. I will continue to be available for speaking and demonstrations. I welcome letters, e-mail and phone calls about greenwoodworking. More green listings in this category: Green Environmental Arts |
