The Essential Wood Book is about making the basics of using and
choosing wood easier to understand.
While some wood books can be intimidating due to an overly scientific
approach or an overflowing amount of exotic and hard-to-find woods
you'll never use, this handy, accessible resource is perfect for anyone
seeking information about the most essential materials needed to
complete their next woodworking project. In addition to covering the top
native American and exotic woods from Ash to Zebrawood, The Essential
Wood Book also offers expert advice and know-how for working with wood,
rough lumber and plywood, understanding wood movement and other
characteristics, finding unique wood sources, and storing and drying
lumber.
With lots of photos and accessible, detailed information, The Essential
Wood Book is the ideal resource for woodworkers, carpenters, crafters,
or DIY enthusiasts seeking the fundamental knowledge needed to
successfully work with wood.
