What Wood is That? : A Manual of Wood Identification
40 actual wafer-thin samples of wood are contained in the fold-out frontispiece to this book, from afromosia to zebrawood. The samples and a unique classification system using 14 characteristics (rings, pores, weight, smell, leaf shape, etc.) are used to identify the woods most widely used in the U.S.
