The art of pyrography-- burning designs into wood and many other materials-- can add a special touch to any project, including wooden trunks and jewelry, wildlife carvings, leather pictures, and paper collages.

Play Cribbage to Win

By: Dan Barlow
96 pages, 5 3/8 x 8 1/4.
It's a race around a board that takes luck and skill--and if you're hoping to reach the "finish line" first, here are the rules, the skill-building quizzes, and the cleverest tactics needed to win. If you've never played before, you'll get an explanation of the game's basics and scoring--who goes first, dealing and discarding the cards, and moving the pegs, all with expert tips to put beginners on the right track from the start. The detailed coverage focuses on such topics as what to do when the cut is irrelevant (when the dealer will lose if he doesn't peg out); strategies in the play of the hand; ways to speed up the game; and almost any potential situation you'll encounter. And, for those who already play, there's some advanced advice to take you to the next level, plus information on the American Cribbage Congress, which runs tournaments and clubs.

Stickmaking A Complete Course

By: Andrew Jones and Clive George
They're practical, decorative, and even elegant: a walking stick or cane, with a vee or with a crook, is one of the most useful and satisfying crafts items to make. Enjoy the entire process, from venturing out to find the perfect piece of wood, to bundling and seasoning the raw sticks, to carving, assembling and varnishing the magnificent finished projects. A master of the art reveals the insider's tricks of the trade, including what to look for when you gather wood; which flaws can be remedied; how to shape and straighten your stick without splitting it; and how to cut to size, fit a ferrule, and shape a handle. Begin with a basic vee-shaped thumbstick, or if you have something special in mind, dip in anywhere--you'll find the style you're looking for. Try a variety of simple, one-piece walking sticks, four Cardigan sticks, wooden crocks and market sticks, ram's horn and antler sticks, buffalo and ram's horn crooks, carved sticks in wood and horn, and a medley of fancier models.

The Art of Marquetry

By Craig Vandall Stevens.
96 pages, soft cover.
Marquetry is a technique where different natural colors of wood veneers are carefully cut to fit precisely together, creating a spectacular design in a single sheet or picture. In the mid 16th century, Italian craftsmen began using marquetry as a furniture decorating art. Using a technique called the double-bevel cut, the novice to advanced woodworker is led through a fully illustrated step-by-step process from the design to the finish. Hundreds of color photographs demonstrate in detail how to saw your own veneers out of solid wood planks, the tools and materials required, using the scroll saw and the fret saw, choosing woods for color and grain, design tips, shading with hot sand, and finishing. Four patterns ranging from simple to challenging projects are included as is an extended gallery of finished works to inspire the marquetarian in you.
