Review:
The title of this book could not be more explicit or apt. With 40 actual wood specimens in popular use, descriptions of grain, color and texture, how to identify trees by their leaves, fruit, and bark, and much more, this is a small encyclopedia for woodworkers, carpenters, hobbyists, dealers, architects, craftsmen, nature lovers, teachers, or anyone with the urge to learn about wood. With small, aromatic samples of 40 varieties of wood, from afrormosia to zebrawood, this book even smells good! --Mark Hetts

Book Description Condition: Good. Most items will be dispatched the same or the next working day. A good condition book. Includes a dust jacket with a tear to the front cover. Mild shelf wear. The wood samples at the front of the book have been secured with tape strips that have yellowed over time, but they remain fine to view. The text is clean and bright with a good binding. A nice copy of a scarce book. Seller Inventory # wbs6430126007
