Excellent Update to a Classic Woodworking Text, Sep 6 2005
By A Reader - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Working with Wood (Hardcover)
This book is an expanded and comprehensive update of the (out of print) classic "Working with Wood: The Basics of Craftsmanship" by Peter Korn. It also includes some of the wood structural information from "Understanding Wood: A Craftsman's Guide to Wood Technology" by Dr. R. Bruce Hoadley."Working with Wood" examines not only how to fell a tree, cut it up, sticker the wood, build a kiln, and when to use the lumber, but also how to construct furniture so it doesn't crack, or buckle due to changes in seasonal humidity. This book is well on its way to becoming a new classic.

A 'must' for any who regularly tackle woodworking projects, Sep 5 2005
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Working with Wood (Hardcover)
Andy Rae's Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide To Working With Wood is a 'must' for any who regularly tackle woodworking projects. A step-by-step reference covers different techniques for working with the wood, packing in nearly a thousand photos and drawings to show how to buy lumber, dry it, store it, join it, and machine it. Andy Rae has his own woodworking business and designs his own furniture; his extensive background making furniture and teaching woodworking lends to a splendidly simple presentation outlining different wood qualities and how to work with them.
