Why This Book Matters

Celtic art has a long history, from megalithic stone carvings to the illuminated manuscripts of the early medieval period. This book translates that tradition into practical woodworking projects, making Celtic symbolism accessible to modern crafters. It also acknowledges the influence of Irish manuscript art, including the Book of Kells and related works.
