A Cabinetmaker's Notebook (Woodworker's Library) Review: Inspiring Woodworking Book - This was a very inspiring woodworking book. This is not your typical "how-to" book but instead more of a "why-do" book. It was interesting to read about Krenov's childhood, his travels around the world and his passion for wood. The many photos of Krenov's furniture pieces were also great - lots of good detail shots. This was the first Krenov book I've read, but it will definitely not be my last. If you want to be inspired to learn more and do better in your craft - read this book! Review: Reading this is like sitting at a table with an old craftsman.... - Reading this is like sitting at a table with an old craftsman, hearing about his life and his passion for wood and lumber. This book has little to offer the production woodworker or weekend hobbist building shelves out of plywood. Rather, this book delves into the life of James Krenov, his travels, his perspective, and his view of his life as a woodworker/cabinetmaker. If you have ever felled a tree, sawn it open, and discovered a beautiful piece of wood lying beneath the bark, then you will appreciate this book. It is well written, with a flow that suggests Mr. Krenov is talking with you as his apprentice, expressing his opinion of important observations he has made during his career. I found it fasicnating the he admitted he sometimes begins a project with building the drawers or doors first. He explains himself and his reasoning, which helps clarify his methodology. I was able to extract several new philosophical approaches that I shall incorporate into my own woodoworking. This book will likely appeal to a very small, but appreciative audience. I would recommend it highly to any woodworker who harvests his or her own wood, usually works with air-dried lumber, exotic lumbers, or custom pieces. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #149,042 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #74 in Carpentry #142 in Woodworking Projects (Books) #6,007 in Crafts & Hobbies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (176) | | Dimensions | 8.46 x 0.34 x 10.56 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0941936597 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0941936590 | | Item Weight | 13.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 132 pages | | Publication date | March 1, 2000 | | Publisher | Linden Publishing | ## Images ![A Cabinetmaker's Notebook (Woodworker's Library) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sPyhM7sEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiring Woodworking Book *by D***I on December 17, 2009* This was a very inspiring woodworking book.

It's not just woodworking, anything could be the topic. Here is an artist with a vision and belief in what he does. It has great value to him and he refuses to compromise his values to make things easier. He shares a great amount of background/personal information, which gives the reader a base for understanding his passion in woodworking. A truely fantasic person. I only wish I could have spent some time visiting with him. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/8793165-a-cabinetmakers-notebook-woodworkers-library](https://www.desertcart.is/products/8793165-a-cabinetmakers-notebook-woodworkers-library) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
