Understanding Earths most fascinating natural resource: books about wood usually come from one of two very opposite poles: there are either craftoriented books filled mainly with pretty pictures, but with very weak or vague data, or there are thinly veiled scientific books, filled with an overabundance of data: burying the uninitiated in microscope images and confusing terminology. This book hopes to selectively bring together the best of both worlds: written from a craftspersons perspective, it also seeks to glean the wealth of scientific knowledge and bring it into practical reach for woodworkers everywhere. Over 350 woods covered. 100+ fullpage profiles. 100+ halfpage profiles for lesscommon woods. Guides for distinguishing lookalike woods. Detailed identification data and strength properties.
