   This would be a good book to use in determining which wood to use in projects.

   Wood will make or break your project. Wrong species means wrong color, grain, movement, etc. Gots to know the wood!

    Reference books are always great. When I'm too broke to buy wood for my "next project", learning more about my favorite material is my favorite way to spend time.

    I guess when it comes to working with wood I have been guilty of putting the cart before the horse so to speak... I focus so much on technique and tools but really lack knowledge of the materials I work with. This would add quality to my work. Thanks.

    I would love this book. I have trouble telling some kinds of wood apart and this would help.

    This would look fantastic on my workbench, opened up. It would also look fantastic on my bookshelf, when not in use.

    You mean I'm supposed to know what I'm working with rather than just take whatever samples the guy in the orange or blue apron hands me?!

    I have one of those basic books about wood, and it is one of my most useful books. However, it was written in France, and although French is my first language, things on the other side of the Atlantic are quite different and a lot of stuff is meaningless to me.

    I would gladly complement it with a book that deals with the types of woods and cuts we have around here.
