Synopsis
Master timber strength and hands-on bench work with clear, practical guidance. This book blends theory and practice to help readers understand how wood behaves under load, and how to apply that knowledge on the bench. It covers the factors that affect stiffness and strength, from wood type and grain to how a timber is placed or shaped for a project.
The text explains key concepts such as tension, compression, shear, and bending, and shows how these forces are measured and compared across common woods. It also illustrates how the direction of grain and the presence of knots affect performance. Practical exercises and step-by-step descriptions guide you through planning and executing joints, splices, and fittings. The edition includes clear examples and historical context to support hands-on learning for students and hobbyists alike.
