I've just received, Selecting and Drying Wood, a collection of articles appearing in Fine Woodworking magazine. I also have Peter Seftons, Timber Selection DVD, has a section on visiting a timber merchants.
When I'm ready to start making my replacement doors and windows. I want to be sure I know what I'm doing down at the timber merchants and select suitable timber and avoid any pitfalls. Are there any other books, resources, ( besides this forum ) that I should know about?
I have several books on, actual timber species, like uses, photos, characteristics, ease of machine and hand tooling. however these books don't cover the practical aspects of going down to the timber merchants and pulling boards out of a stack and choosing suitable timber.
Cheers.
