Most woodworkers attack a project with little thought to the material they are using. Understanding the nature of wood and its impact on the design and eventual usage is one of the things that separates the accomplished woodworker from the novice. This newly revised and updated version of Hoadley’s definitive reference book now includes information on composite materials and adhesives, as well as the explanations of wood movement and material properties that make this book so valuable to the serious woodworker. If you are tired of surprises after you finish a project, this is the book for you!
