Even the most experienced woodworker would find it difficult to identify every species of timber,and for fraught with confusion and frustration. And choosing the right wood for a project invilves a lot more than knowing what it looks like. Does it work easily with hand tools or machinery? Can I glue it? Will it take a polish satisfactorily? Is it likely to be too heavy for the job in hand? These and other questions are answered in this handy book that includes a wide selection of commercial softwoods and hardwoods. And if solid wood is unsuitable, a choice of man-made boards and veneers affers yet more solutions.
Each wood is presented in full colour as a large sample to show both side and end grain. Comparative charts illustrate every tree species featured in the book, and include photographs of each wood in its natural and finished states.
This easy-to-use guide is a convenient yet comprehensive source of reference, giving useful and practical advice on wood production, grading and selection, plus up-to-date information on forest conservation and endangered species.
