LN Show, Creepy Postcards, Flat-sawn vs. Quartersawn & More

A quick look at all the stuff Lost Art Press published during the last seven days.

I'm headed down to Nashville, Tennessee later this week for the Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Event Friday and Saturday at The Forge, where I'll have a selection of Lost Art Press books, tools and glue for sale. And, I'll be cutting dovetails as time allows … assuming I can get some step stool parts ready to go before I leave our shop. Hope to see you at the show! For more info, click here.
