Quantity:
This biannual publication celebrates the history, practice and preservation of traditional woodworking. Its multidisciplinary approach brings together the perspectives of woodworkers, conservators and scholars to span craft past and present, with a particular focus on pre-industrial tools and methods. Marking Mortise & Tenon’s 10th anniversary, this special issue highlights the ideas, people and traditions that continue to shape the practice of woodworking.
In this issue, Steve Latta offers a candid and deeply personal reflection on a life spent teaching and making, celebrating the emerging artisans who give him hope for the future of the trades. Slöjd master Jögge Sundqvist sits down with the editors to discuss the value of handicraft in an AI-saturated age, arguing that creativity expressed through the hands remains essential to our humanity. Sally Bernstein and Joel Moskowitz, founders of Tools for Working Wood, take stock of the state of the craft in 2025, showing how community and guidance can help deepen a novice’s lifelong appreciation of their work.
M&T editor Joshua A. Klein revisits the original Mortise & Tenon Manifesto to explore how the magazine’s founding vision has evolved over the past decade and where it is headed next. A rare published correspondence with writer Wendell Berry offers distilled wisdom on good work, good community and living with care in a rapidly changing world. Craft scholar Glenn Adamson contrasts enduring joinery with the disposable nature of modern manufactured goods, revealing how construction methods speak volumes about the values of their makers.
More like a book than a typical magazine, it is printed on heavy stock paper and richly illustrated with color photographs.
Available in limited quantities. Softcover, 248 pages.
