Celebrate the splendor of wood with these wood-crafting projects.

Wood can offer you the look and feel, and even scent, that no other natural material can provide.

You'll browse through the handy directory of tree species and identify the best uses for each.

You'll appreciate and admire the massive display of illustrations and photographs throughout - nearly 700 combined!

And you'll gain the insight you need to make practically anything out of this clean, crisp, beautiful element.
