In American Woodworking Tools, collector Paul Kebabian has joined forces with noted photographer Dudley Witney to produce a tool book unique in its combination of richly informative, authoritative text and stunning illustration.

In his text, Paul Kebabian traces the development of individual tools from their origins in Europe to the early homemade American types and to the sophisticated versions produced by specialists; his sources include estate inventories of colonial craftsmen, the patents of the increasingly ingenious devices of the nineteenth century, and the catalogs of tool-making firms. Chapters are devoted to the woodworking trades — such as shipbuilding, coopering, cabinet-making — that made use of specialized tools. This valuable material creates an unusual informal study of aspects of American industrial history from the first settlements to about 1900.
