  Even the most experienced woodworker can find it difficult to identify every species of timber, and choosing the right wood for a project involves more than just knowing what it looks like. This guide shows which woods are right for a job. Every species of wood is featured in a fully-comprehensive section which describes their individual properties and uses, and advises on how to convert, season and prepare them for use. It also contains information on which wood finishes and veneers best suit each wood.
