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 go to your website often, just to get a boost during 'hectic times of the year'. I am sure it is much like what women feel as they 'window shop' down Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. :)
