Selecting and Drying Wood: The New Best of Fine Woodworking

I liked this book a a bit more then some of the other books on the subject. Not much on the subject of vacuum kilns but not as dry as others I've read.

This book is a collection of articles from Fine Woodworking over the last several years. The number and scope of articles is pretty comprehensive. If you have all the mags, you can find these articles or just go to this one source and find what you need. It even has articles on staining/fading of different types of wood/stains and health concerns with certain species of domestic and imported woods--not things one always considers. Overall, def worth the $12 or so.

Lots of good information, presented succinctly. Able to reference topics between articles easily. Allowed me to have an informed discussion with trades people.

I've used this book extensively. It has taught me the basics on drying wet wood for a home/hobby wood worker.

Great book for reference and for advanced wood processing and handling at a basic to advanced level. Increased my knowledge and ability to select and dry wood.

This book has helped me a lot. I live in Colombia, South America and got this book from amazon. It's great how the author explains step by step the way to get the best out of any lumber. In the conditions we live here in Colombia, from high temperatures to lots of rain, it's very important for any woodworker to learn how to get dry wood. This is one great way to learn the process properly.
