Understanding Earth s 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 craftsperson s 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 plus fullpage profiles. 100 plus halfpage profiles for lesscommon woods. Guides for distinguishing lookalike woods. Detailed identification data and strength properties.
