Author Barry Sankey displays an enthralling sense of the simple workman's relationship with order and truth in the universe. His new book 'Seven Cuts of Wood' is not mere autobiography, a re-telling of detail-it travels beyond, into the realm of Autobiography, populated by works that reflect the realness and immortality of human experience and binds readers intimately to the brilliant inner workings of an author's heart and soul. He says that, 'As a craftsman will shape and fashion bow and arrow, the warrior will take his weapon in hand and become one of purpose as he pulls back and takes aim. My aim here was not how high or how far, but only to make an impact on my target-from my hand to your heart.'
