Woodworker's Guide to Wood by Rick Peters

 

Richly detailed, packed with pictures and diagrams, this will be the woodworker’s indispensable guide to the heart and soul of the craft. A directory of over 60 types of wood includes stunning close-up photos of each, displaying grain, color, and texture.

 
Color charts lay out the projects that a variety of wood is suited for, its density and strength, how it stands up to various machines, and more. There are hints on recognizing defects; getting a good value; and storage. It’s the ultimate bench reference!
