THE AUSTRALIAN TIMBER BUYER’S GUIDE ORIGINAL EDITION

$40.00

This unique book, now in its fourth re-print, provides practical information about the use of wood for woodworking.

It was originally released as a collection of the Woodie’s Guide To Woods articles from The Australian Woodworker magazine.

Compiled in a ring binder format, further additions could be added to it over time.
Each page dedicated to a timber species contains a colour plate and detailed notes about the working properties of the timber.

In his illustrated introduction, the late Les Miller (one of Australia’s best know woodworking demonstrators, and Associate Editor of The Australian Woodworker) provides important information on how the characteristics of wood are determined by the way trees grow and the methods used to convert logs into sawn timber.

The species notes are written by Jeff Kemp (a highly successful guitar maker whose instruments are sold and played all over the world).
