Lumber
is the single biggest expense in any woodworking project, and top
quality stock is increasingly hard to find. These articles by contributors
to Fine Woodworking offer expert advice on selecting stock, matching
grain, and working a wide variety of species. Of special value are
the articles on alternative sources of lumber, and how to dry wood
by using a kiln of your own making or air drying. Other topics include
storing lumber, finding matching boards, using figured woods, choosing
a moisture meter, using grain in design, and harvesting your own
lumber.
