As a young woodturner and just starting out this was an incredibly useful book. I have to fund all my work and so any home grown timbers I tried to dry log. 90% failed. After reading this I understood the wood more and have now just started reeping the rewards. It really does help appreciate wood so much more and helps get the most out of its diversity.

Useful book to help understand what happens to wood during drying. Also what 'drying' is and the reasons behind wood's shrinkage and expansion and what to do to minimise it or its effects when working with wood.
Book is now quite old but facts are still very relevant, though some more modern treatments aren't included as book predates them.
A useful reference book.
