Essential Wood Book: The Woodworker's Guide to Choosing and Using Lumber

The Essential Wood Book is intended to be a practical and handy guide to the attributes of wood from A (Ash) to Z (Zebrawood), with an emphasis on the wood that woodworkers, fabricators, carpenters and crafters are likeliest to use.

You’ll find interesting and relevant information about each tree and its attributes. Advice on wood grades, wood care, wood movement, wood prep and wood finishing make this book exceptionally relevant and useful.

You’ll get pro tips on salvaging lumber, harvesting your own lumber and working with wild, discolored and toxic wood. You'll even get a bit of tree lore for each species. The involvement of multiple experts, working under the curation of editor Tim Snyder, helps give this book an additional comprehensiveness.
