These two classics were written by R. Bruce Hoadley, a professor of wood science and technology at the University of Massachusetts. Both are must-have references for carvers, turners, cabinetmakers, builders and anyone who works with wood.

Identifying Wood is the woodworker's guide to quickly and easily identifying more than 180 domestic and tropical hardwoods and softwoods. It provides:

an overview of the wood identification process
a look at the basic anatomy of woody plants
hundreds of easy-to-use charts and photos
sources of information, a glossary and more

Understanding Wood, 2nd Edition offers woodworkers a comprehensive overview of wood technology, covering:

the nature of wood and its many properties
the basics of wood technology, from drying to joining
the woodworker's raw materials: veneer, plywood, composite panels, engineered wood and more

These two definitive references form the cornerstone of every woodworker's library.
