Product Description

This book collects the best articles from recent issues of Fine Woodworking on the subject of finding and working with wood. Wood is the one thing that woodworkers have in common and there is endless fascination with the working properties of various species, how to select and season wood and how to store it. Wood has a way of behaving as if it’s still alive, moving with seasonal changes in temperature and humidity. Learning to work with it rather than against wood movement is critical to successful woodworking.

Good book for making lumber
This book is a collection of articles from Fine Woodworking over the last several years. The number and scope of articles is pretty comprehensive. If you have all the mags, you can find these articles or just go to this one source and find what you need. It even has articles on staining/fading of different types of wood/stains and health concerns with certain species of domestic and imported woods--not things one always considers. Overall, def worth the $12 or so.
