    Holiday Book Giveaway!

    For those who have followed this blog its many years in existence, Best Made Co & Peter Buchanan-Smith are familiar names.

    Peter founded Best Made in 2009, starting with beautiful, hand-painted, handmade axes. It grew into a company that would not only celebrate the inherent beauty of timeless, utilitarian tools, but would also inspire people to get out from behind their screens and experience the natural world.

    From Peter:

    This book is a celebration of a certain type of beauty that’s found in things that are useful.
    You don’t have to be an “axepert” to appreciate this book. It’s a beautiful object, with lots of information, stories and photographs, and I have to say it would make a terrific gift.
