Not a comment on the book, but this reminds me that I read up on a cool trip that Langsner took last year. He taught a greenwood chairmaking class in Japan. I read about it on a blogger’s site: Masashi’s Woodworking Diary: http://japancraft.blogspot.com/2008/12/3-chair-class-3.html
Langsner also wrote about it here: http://www.countryworkshops.org/japanjournal.html
Sounds fun...
