"This is a beautiful and valuable book giving as good a representation of actual specimens for 354 species of trees as we've ever seen. The book also includes information on many trees that are now rare, or completely extinct. While not priced for the faint of heart ($75 list), every woodworker who shares the passion for the wood in their work as well as the final form will want to own a copy and use it often as a reference."Popular Woodworking's E NewsUnited States |
