The Encyclopedia Of Wood

Timber is one of our most precious, versatile, and vulnerable resources, so using it effectively is important. Knowing your material inside and out is the first step to doing just that. Prepared by the Forest Products Laboratory (FPL), a division of the US Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), the book explores the structure of wood itself, from growth rings to its chemical composition.

Learn wood’s physical and mechanical properties, including everything from elasticity to nuclear radiation. This extensive manual includes a section on stress grading as well as thorough descriptions of which fasteners to use and when. It has information on adhesive bonding, biodeterioration, control of moisture content, preservation, fire safety, specialty treatments, and much more.

The Encyclopedia of Wood is an essential resource for builders, architects, engineers, and woodworkers. Loaded with helpful photos, charts, and graphs. B & W. Softcover. 496 pages.
