This book is full of precise information about all kinds of wood and their properties. WOOD AND HOW TO DRY IT by Kahn, Fine Woodworking Editors ISBN 13:9780918804549 112 Pages IDENTIFYING WOOD by Bruce Hoadley ISBN 13: 9780942391046 223 Pages This is a comprehensive book explaining how to identify wood. THE COMPLETE DICTIONARY OF WOOD by Thomas Corkhill ISBN 13:9780880293181 656 Pages This dictionary covers every wood term from species to tools to woodworking terms. It is very complete but is out of print and you will have to look for a used copy. Magazines: Sawmill and Woodlot Tree Farmer (American Forest Foundation) Forthcoming: A Lumberman's Thoughts by Paul Easley (A collection of some of Paul's articles) |
