"Wood Harvesting with Hand Tools" online book

[Steve Tall]

Lots of information about axes, bowsaws, crosscut saws, tree felling.
Also how to build a stand-on vise (similar function as a shaving horse) for use with a draw knife or spokeshave, among other "how-to's".
I think the booklet was originally meant for developing countries.
