This is a great book for understanding the basics of everything around wood and how to handle it. I read it for research for one of my novellas in the Workplace Encounter series, and will continue to use it as a reference for details. Each chapter treats different topics, so whether you want to use it as a "how to" guide or as a general introduction or because you're curious, this book is very helpful (especially the illustrations) and easy to understand.

This book was alright, gives some decent descriptions of felling for the amateur but overall found it to be a little light on technique and facts.

Seems like the author couldn't quite work out whether he wanted to write a light hearted biography filled with humourous anecdotes or a reference book of timber work. As such, calling it the ultimate guide is definitely a fanciful claim as you'd be disappointed if this was your only reference material and had no one to give advice. This being said however, it isn't a bad little read, the anecdotes and background stories are interesting and give a snapshot of rural America.… (altro)
