This vintage book contains a course of woodworking exercises, together with a short treatise on wood, designed for manual training classes in schools and colleges. With a wealth of invaluable information and simple directions, this volume is highly recommended for novice woodworkers, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of DIY literature. Contents include: “Structure of Wood”, “Composition of Wood”, “Branching of Stems”, “Age of Trees”, “Decay of Trees”, “Season for Cutting”, “Milling”, “Drying of Wood”, “Warping”, “Properties of Wood”, “Defects in Wood”, “Measure and Value of Wood”, “Kinds of Wood”, etc. Many vintage books like this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive.
