Here are some links that we thought might be of interest to visitors to
our site. Most of these have to do with other aspects of hand-woodworking, or
with other artisans making reproduction pieces of one kind or another. Click here for links to museums and historic sites.
If anyone would like to link to our pages, let us know and we will reciprocate here.
Furniture and Decorative Arts:
The Americana SmorgasBoard at http://www.pentimento.com is a

furniture, arts and crafts.
FM4 ( http://www.iserv.net/~plucas/about.htm )
is a website devoted to coordinating the many available resources on the web regarding
furniture - including industry, history and design. Pamela Lucas is the industrious
organizer of this useful resource, and you'll find links to all kinds of useful
information here.
Crooked Hand's Powder Horn Gallery (http://www.powderhorns.org
) features a variety of beautiful custom-made reproduction powderhorns for black powder
aficionados (our connection is the fact that we've done some turned plugs for Crooked
Hand).
Woodworking:
Woodworking on the web with Coeur du Bois ( http://www.woodworking.co.uk )
is linked to Heart of the Wood by vocation as well as by name. This English site is
devoted to all kinds of artisanal woodcraft, turning in particular. An asociated
site, the Toolpost ( http://www.toolpost.co.uk
), is a source for specialized woodworking tools and supplies.
The Oak Factory at http://theoak.com features links to 1300 woodworking
sites. While many of these are of interest to woodworkers, those looking for
specialists in various areas of woodworking might find it useful as well.
Woodworker's Central is a woodworker's website
association, with lots of information geared specifically towards woodworkers. Go to

Literary:
For anyone who might have been wondering, the name 'Heart of the Wood' is
adopted from a favorite novel of Ted's, Riddley Walker, by a favorite writer,
Russell Hoban. For a complete digression from woodworking and furniture, and an
introduction to a great 20th century writer, visit Dave Awl's wonderful Head of Orpheus website at http://www.suba.com/~dayvoll/rh/ - you'll be
glad you did!
