Comments from our editors:

From the publishers of Fine Woodworking Magazine, Understanding Wood answers every woodworker's question: Why does wood do what it does? Updated to include new information on composite materials, adhesives and finishes developed in the past 20 years, this book has everything you need to know about wood technology.

Wood technologist R. Bruce Hoadley explores the nature of wood and its properties, wood technology and raw materials. You'll learn how how best to cut, season, machine, join, bend, fasten, and finish wood, as well as understand the reaction of wood to moisture.

A book for everyone who works with wood -- craftsmen, builders, engineers and designers.
