A very useful book for woodworkers.  Choosing among all of the myriad choices of wood species available can be easier with this book.  See our second photo for an example of how each page shows a large color photo of a finished board cut plus text describing growth habits, grain appearance, physical properties and typical uses.   Each page also gives a map of areas of the world where the tree grows naturally.

There are 152 species of wood covered in this book.  It includes both Gymnosperms (softwoods) and Angiosperms (hardwoods).  A nice easy way to find all the information you need in a single source!  The introductory text runs for 38 pages and covers a multitude of topics - see photo of table of contents.

This book has the pristine original dust jacket and is in "like new" condition.  It is so very good that it can be purchased as a gift for your favorite woodworker/craftsman.

Buyers pay $7 for media mail shipping within the USA.  International bidders should check the shipping rate to their country for four pounds.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.
