The Maine Craftsman Style Field Guide, Volume 1, is the first in a series of guides documenting the design tradition behind the work at Vital Woodcraft.

It's built from years of hands-on building and rooted in the woodworking legacy of Howard "Bub" Bridges of Bucksport, Maine. Twenty-eight illustrated pages covering five core design principles, seven signature elements, and three complete build plans. Each plan builds on $20 to $50 in materials, at a beginner-to-intermediate skill level. PDF, instant download, $24.

This is not a generic woodworking guide. It documents a specific tradition, with a specific philosophy, built on pieces that have been in daily family use for generations.
