A Field Guide to Identifying Woods in American Antiques & Collectibles Paperback – October 25, 2016

As thorough a review of wood as I've ever seen.

Excellent pictures of the three different slices of each wood. Identifying woods is not a simple thing to do. So do not expect this book to make you an instant expert. It requires much practice.

Beautiful book with color photos of wood types showing the grain and coloration up close. Not scientific testing to identify the wood. Great reference for dealers, collectors and appraisers.

This book belongs in every antique hunters backpack. It is the fastest imaginable tool to getting accurate identification on antiques, mill work and more.

It was a gift and it was loved.

An exceptional resource for anyone interested in antiques, wood products or objects and learning how to identify wood, written for a general audience. It is an indispensable tool for curators, collectors, antique dealers and countless other individuals, written in an accessible manner by the authority on North American wood anatomy and identification. It will doubtless be used by generations of readers.

I would recommend this book as it provides practical and technical information for identifying wood when evaluating antique furniture and other collectable pieces.
