Résumé
NATIONAL BESTSELLERLONGLISTED FOR THE 2025 ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTIONA captivating memoir that immerses readers in the life of a Scottish carpenter as he perfects his craft, builds a business, and reflects on what inheritance and shared responsibility really mean. The eldest son of a master woodworker, Callum Robinson spent his childhood surrounded by wood and trees, absorbing the lessons of craftsmanship in his father's workshop.
In time he became his father's apprentice, helping to create exquisite bespoke objects. But eventually the need to find his own path-to chase ever bigger and more commercial projects and establish a workshop of his own-drew him away. Faced with the end of his business, his team, and everything he had worked so hard to build, he was forced to question what mattered most. In beautifully wrought prose, Callum tells the story of returning to the workshop and to the wood, to handcrafting furniture for people who will love it and then pass it on to the next generation-an antidote to a culture where everything seems so easily disposable.
As he does so, he brings us closer to nature and the physical act of creation-and we begin to understand how he has been shaped, as both a craftsman and a son. Blending memoir about work and nature writing at its finest, Ingrained is an uplifting meditation on the challenges of working with your hands in our modern age, on community, consumerism, and the beauty of the natural world-one that asks us to see our local trees, and our own wooden objects, in a new and revelatory light.
Callum Robinson's return to the wood is an unforgettable exploration of: A Father and Son Story The Art of Woodworking Scottish Nature Writing An Antidote to Throwaway Culture
