American homes are typically made of lumber and plywood delivered by a global system of ruthless extraction, or of concrete and steel, which are even worse for the planet. Wood is often the most sustainable material for building, but we need to protect diverse forests as much as we desperately need more houses. Brian Donahue addresses this modern conundrum by documenting his experiences building a timber frame home from the wood growing on his family farm. He provides a new interpretation of the connection between American houses and local woodlands. This book provides a blueprint and a stewardship plan for how to live more responsibly with the woods. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR on the title page.
