Don't limit yourself to pine or oak for your woodworking projects. This book introduces a wide range of available woods, from domestic to exotic. First published in 2004, it has been revised to include 17 more wood species, additional illustrations, and updated information on health risks of certain woods. Arranged alphabetically by botanical name, each of the entries includes a photo of the wood grain and information about physical attributes, durability, and common uses. Some entries include photos of finished woodworking projects to illustrate better the wood's potential. A welcome and necessary book for all woodworking collections; strongly recommended.
