Understanding Wood is widely held as a definitive reference work and the cornerstone of every woodworker's library.
By R. Bruce Hoadley
The first edition of Understanding Wood was published in 1980 and has since
sold more than 130,000 copies. It is widely held as a definitive reference work
and the cornerstone of every woodworker's library. Now, Bruce Hoadley's comprehensive
guide to wood technology has been revised and updated in this 20th-anniversary
edition of a classic.
New information on composite materials, adhesives, and finishes brings this
book into the 21st century, while more than 300 photographs bring important
visual information to life. This edition covers the nature of wood and its properties,
the basics of wood technology, and the woodworker's raw materials. Understanding
Wood was written for woodworkers by a scientist with a love of woodworking.
It will be sought after by craftsmen and collectors alike.
"The truly serious woodworker needs a knowledge of his material and
the best place to get it is in Bruce Hoadley's Understanding Wood. "

"I ordered a replacement part for a desk at home. It is actually better quality than the original and fit perfectly! I called to make sure the package had the number of parts I needed prior to placing my online order. The folks were very helpful and the part came within a few days! I will definitely use them in the future! " -
