 Understanding Wood: A Craftsman's Guide to Wood Technology May 31, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book takes the reader beyond the basic understanding of wood. If you are interested in a deeper look at wood as an engineering material or if you are more than a weekend woodworker, this book fills a big gap between the pure scientific and craftsman levels. Well written and great illustrations.

I've been using this book for years, and it has come in handy, providing a lot of useful information over the years. But now I'm looking for something more up-to-date. The Encyclopedia of Wood comes from the United States Department of Agriculture and is the best wood technology reference around. And it's a better bargain...a newer book at an old-fasioned price!
 Exceptional, but not perfect! September 18, 2006

This book contains a great wealth of information, my only complaint is the data is not referenced for sources of information. Trying to verify or follow up on specific information is not easy.
Excellent book June 6, 2006

After you've advanced past the Time-Life 'how to' style books, get this one.
This is an absolute Bible of working with wood. The amount of usefull, intelligent info in here is staggering. This one definately covers the "whys" of wood (why does it do this or that). If you want to know "what" to do with wood (joinery, etc) then look up Tage Frid. I feel the need to say that this book is actually rather scientific. By that I mean it has lots and lots of details and microscopic pictures and things you'd learn in a college class. If you're not really into that kind of stuff, you might not find this book usefull to you.
Personally, I wish I would've gotten this book a long time ago and not ruined so much nice wood in the mean time!
And as always, Amazon has a great price and had it in my hands within a couple of days (literally 2 days) from ordering it.
Analise em Lingua Portuguesa (In Portuguese) March 15, 2006

Ainda nao li o livro de forma exaustiva, mas do que li pareceu-me um bom livro para Engenheiros do sector das Madeiras ou para pessoas com conhecimentos de Ciencias suficientes para perceber os conteudos abordados. Para os outros, penso que tambem podera ser um bom livro, mas neste caso terao de se ficar por uma analise mais qualitativa. Enfim, estou satisfeito com a compra que realizei, e estou mesmo a pensar comprar o outro livro deste este autor (Identifying Wood - ISBN 0-942391-04-7).
