INGRAINED The Making of a Craftsman

Narrating in his gravelly timbre and Scottish accent, Callum Robinson invites listeners into his workshop as he recalls the highs and lows of his bespoke woodworking business. The son of a master woodworker, Robinson found his way into the profession as an apprentice and then learned more through his travels. Reflecting on childhood lessons, he marvels at how far his father's craft has taken him. Facing financial stress, Robinson and his wife, Marissa, forge a new business plan for the workshop. Robinson writes with tenderness, describing various trees and woods in observant, reflective language. Part memoir, part nature writing, this audiobook celebrates the beauty of Scotland and woodworking. Robinson's warm tone makes it a pleasure to hear.
