WOOD! Identifying and Using Hundreds of Woods Worldwide

WOOD! Identifying and Using Hundreds of Woods Worldwide

0 - Default Title
Description
Understanding Earth's most fascinating natural resource: books about wood usually come from one of two very opposite poles: there are either craft-oriented books filled mainly with pretty pictures, but with very weak or vague data, or there are thinly veiled scientific books, filled with an over-abundance 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 full-page profiles. 100 plus half-page profiles for less-common woods. Guides for distinguishing lookalike woods. Detailed identification data and strength properties.
