WOOD: Materials for Inspirational Design. `Rotov

One look at the cover and you know you're in for a treat. The pages bring to life different types of timber to the extent that you can almost feel the grain on the page. An eminently practical volume, Wood aims to give designers a feel for what each kind of timber can do, from humble Scots pine to fine hardwoods like cherry and walnut. It also takes in wood products such as plywoods, laminates, veneers and MDF. Technical information is included for more than 50 different woods, but the breadth of the subject and the images make this much more then just a textbook. Highly recommended
