Summary |
What wood is that? A manual of wood identification / by Herbert L. Edlin. This collection of forty actual wood samples shows the color, grain, and texture of the leading varieties. Detailed drawings identify uncut, unfinished trees by their leaves, fruits, and bark. The text explains where each kind of tree is grown and how to use its wood to the best advantage from lamination to veneering, from carving and molding, to finishing. Here, too, is the history of man's use of wood from the Stone Age to modern-day conservation issues and rare rain-forest species. |
