Published by Taylor & Francis LTD in 1990, this comprehensive paperback guide is an indispensable resource for both students and professionals in the field of building services engineering. With 192 pages of detailed content, it stands as a beacon of knowledge for anyone interested in the technical aspects of woodworking.
Very thorough, well illustrated. For the serious beginner
Begins with essential knowledge of how wood grows, and how it is harvested and how it is prepared for use. Introduces quite a variety of tools and techniques.
It's a little dated in tone, valuing clarity and rigour over accessibility, but if you're old-school you'll probably appreciate this. There are plenty of quicker, easier books for the beginner to dip into but if you're serious about learning woodworking from the ground up, this is to be recommended.
