The Wood of Fair Trees

[cover]

A large publication with more than 260 photographs; it tells the story of trees’ bodies, “what they look like inside”. If you see an apple or maple tree out of your window, you can look it up in the book—from leaves and sprouts to overall appearance, to trunk cuts and wooden jewels, bowls, or statuettes… You can find trees’ life stories here. All information and craft come from the author.

Working with Wood

[cover]

This is a successful book for those who want to understand wood while working with it. Attention is paid to decorative objects carved from tree roots or branches, wooden jewels and toys.

Patřičný (Not Only) Wood

[cover]

A novelette about love and a fairy tale, short—partly autobiographical—stories, contemplations about women, music… The book contains photographs from the author’s personal archive.

The title is a pun with the author’s name, which means “proper” in English.
