Sounds like a really good book. I love books on the old ways of doing things. My brother and I used to dance around to the sound the scythe made while my grandpa sharpened it. He taught us a little bit about the scythe when we were young. Sadly both my grandpa and older brother passed away when I was young. The scythes my grandpa had were sold at the estate sale. I still have the sharpening stone. I'm going to have to add this book to my library and purchase a scythe.
