Once again Taunton Press delivers a fine product. Been a subscriber to Fine Woodworking since issue 1.
A fun read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Like other Fine Woodworking books it's basically a collection of articles from their magazine. But they are very interesting articles. I enjoyed reading it and learned alot about how to cut and dry lumber myself. Plenty of info on air drying and solar kilns but I wished it revealed the mysteries of a large kiln. I would like to see a drying table with humidity control and more on stress relieving wood.
Excellent resource for sawing/drying/do-it-yourself kilning.

Book is a compilation of articles on growing timber,sawing methods using a variety of mill types as well as how to stack and air dry lumber. It also includes a detailed section on kiln construction for the hobbiest. Different types of kiln plans are included including solar, and dehumidification types. Overall, an inexpensive resource with a lot of usefull information for the serious wood hobbiest that harvests, saws and drys their own lumber.
