Additionally, The Essential Wood Book provides expert advice on topics such as working with wood, rough lumber, and plywood, as well as understanding wood movement and other characteristics.

With numerous helpful photos and clear, concise information, The Essential Wood Book is an ideal resource for woodworkers, carpenters, crafters, and DIY enthusiasts seeking essential knowledge on working with wood.
