�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This reference work portrays the range of qualities and uses of over 150 of the world's most popular and frequently used types of wood. Arranged alphabetically, the book details the anatomy and life cycle of each tree, forest types around the world, the processes of felling, drying, cutting and grading, deforestation, conservation and the subtleties of grain, pattern and colour. Each entry covers the tree's definitive names, its natural habitat and country of origin, its growth pattern and height, the appearance of the timber, its craft properties such as durability and machine and hand-tool working property, and the uses of the wood, including joinery, furniture, flooring, panelling and much more.

Anbieterinformationen

I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!
