Book Reviews of The Complete Manual of Woodworking
Book Review: Comprehensive guide to creating wood furniture & cabinetry.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a truly comprehensive guide to how a tree is turned into a beautiful piece of furniture or cabinetry. First, from the basic science of how wood grows, to how it is milled and cut and selected for various uses, the book includes dozens of photos of wood species and discusses their respective qualities. The author next turns to the basics of wood design and construction, with many photos of finished pieces. Following are chapters detailing every conceivable joint, the features of each wood-intended hand and power tool, construction and finishing techniques, etc. etc. If you had to turn an oak tree into a set of museum-quality wood creations, this would be the one book to which to turn. Highly recommended both as a primary read, and as a long-term reference manual.
