A lovely little handbook, heavily illustrated with excellent color photos of 74 specimen boards and in detail, the wood when finished. The small text describes the characteristics of the wood, uses, and workability. Delightful browsing. Published by Betterway Books, 1507 Dana Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45207. Annotation c.
