Will Ansel’s book records a lifetime of experience building wooden boats and is as much concerned about the behavior of wood in water as it is about technique. 

Or, in his own words, “This book is not about an exact science nor is it about an art, nor a technology.  Something of all three maybe.” 

It is a delight to read not only for the boat carpenter, but also for anyone interested in the way things fit together.
