A book on wood

[pe2dave]

review Seems quite comprehensive

Not exactly light bedtime reading though you’d probably sleep like a log.

I once flicked through this book, whilst in the college library.

It uses American timbers, units, names, terms, standards etc, as it would because it's an American book.

I don't usually have a problem with using American names or terms when it comes to wood working , the things I have to give a little more thought to are the liquid measurements which do differ from ours .

I would recommend Cut & Dried by Richard Jones if you want a UK friendly book on how wood behaves.

 

[Sean Hellman]

Great book, still saving up for Richards book.

Heavy reading, reminds me I must pull it out from the shelf and try again.

I've hesitated to make a comment in this thread for what I suspect are reasons obvious to most, if not all, but decided it's probably okay to thank you for the generous endorsement. Sean's and Bm101's subsequent contributions are also appreciated. Slainte.
