Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Wood is a complex, dynamic material that can only be used successfully if the craftsperson understands it. It reacts to changes in humidity, and the various species have widely different working and structural properties (in addition to their many colors and textures). Both Hoadley and Peters do a good job of helping readers understand the factors that must be considered when using wood and products such as plywood. A frequent writer on home improvement topics, Peters offers a colorful book geared toward hobbyist woodworkers. He covers the process of making lumber from start to finish, including how trees grow, their structure, common ways of milling and drying lumber, grading, and possible defects found in wood. One section shows wood samples (both finished and plain) and describes their basic working characteristics. This particularly attractive book is filled with colorful photographs and illustrations and includes both a glossary and an excellent appendix showing the hazards posed by the sawdust of specific wood species. Hoadley, a professor of wood science and technology, has revised his classic title for its 20th anniversary. While the original is still great, the new title incorporates the latest technologies in adhesives, finishes, and wood products. Color photographs are a welcome addition as the original edition's photos were drab and unappealing. Hoadley covers much of the material that Peters does but in far greater depth. While this complexity may intimidate beginners, it is just what advanced users and professionals need. For example, Hoadley's wood identification section consists of macrophotographs of wood samples magnified ten times so that the correct species can be determined from the pattern of wood cells. This title also includes an in-depth glossary, bibliography, and index. Hoadley's work is an improvement of a classic while Peters's is good enough that it will likely stand the test of time as well. The difference is in complexity, not quality. General public library collections will get more use from Peters's title, while in-depth public and academic libraries will want Hoadley.

Wonderful sourcebook for woodworkers,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Understanding Wood: A Craftsman's Guide to Wood Technology (Gebundene Ausgabe)
This book is a systematic review of all of the properties of wood that are of importance to woodworkers. It is filled with photographs and tables to illustrate key points; I learned more about woodworking from studying the figures alone than I have from reading several other woodworkers manuals. I was especially impressed by the skillfulness of the author; each point built to the conclusions needed for the next section. So, despite the concerns of the other reviewer that it has some resemblence to a text book, I found it to be a very user friendly tool.

An essential reference manual for woodworking professionals.,
Von Alan Morgan (vintage@dowco.com) (Sardis, B.C. (Canada)) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Understanding Wood: A Craftsman's Guide to Wood Technology (Gebundene Ausgabe)
This book will prove to be my best in-depth resource for critical information about the materials with which I make my living. As a woodworking professional, I must fully understand my materials to avoid costly mistakes(and a bruised reputation). With Bruce Hoadley's manual, I can make practical decisions or calculations about wood movement, moisture levels, strength and machining characteristics. I can confirm what I already know or suspect of the species I am most familiar with, or start from scratch with a new species I have never worked with. Not a "how-to" manual, it has allowed me to use less guesswork and to broaden my professional knowledge - which helps me win customers over 'the other guys'. This is NOT an easy bed-time read. It is filled with tables, formulas, charts and photos to help get the points across - which Hoadley is able to do well enough in his text with real-world examples and comparisons. But I was a little discouraged (and I doubt it could be helped) by the way this book resembles those dreaded textbooks of my university days. This book is relevant, realistic, and practical. If you are serious about understanding wood, this book should at the top of your list. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen

In-depth study of wood as a material for woodworkers,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Understanding Wood: A Craftsman's Guide to Wood Technology (Gebundene Ausgabe)
This book discusses wood as a "material" of interest to woodworkers. Did you ever wonder how much a piece of wood will deflect when loaded? Do you know how to calculate how much a panel inside a frame will expand/contract? This book explains this and much more. I can now make simple calculations to help me design my projects. Chapters include: The Nature of Wood, Figure in Wood, Wood Identification, Water and Wood, Coping with Wood Movement, Strength of Wood, Other Properties, Machining Wood, Joining Wood, Finishing Wood, Modifying Wood, and The Woodworker's Raw Materials. I recommend it for all serious woodworkers, professional and amateur alike.
