Kirkosta savusaunaan – Puusta rakennettu Suomi / From Churches to Smoke Saunas – A Finland Built of Wood, 2008
A trip to the core of Finnish wood.
What does the world of Finnish wood look like today? In their travel writing, Netta Böökin and Juhani Seppovaara, take a look at Finnish life through woodworking. They take us across Finland from smoke saunas to wooden churches, from lakeside villas to train stations and restoration projects to dance floors in search of the ideal wooden city in our imaginations and the resurrection of woodworking. The buildings are life´s stage where we hear the stories of life´s sometimes badly cast play. Along the way we learn about woodworking traditions and the state of woodworking today.
