Wood! Identifying and Using Hundreds of Woods Worldwide by Eric Meier
kreisdorph posted a topic in Wood Turning Book Reviews
Most of you are probably aware of the Wood Database. It's a great resource for identifying wood. I knew they also had a book, but I wasn't inspired to buy it until recently. It's a large book, roughly 8.5 x 11. I use the Wood DB site regularly. This book is great when you just want to sit in front of the fire and browse. $35 on Amazon. (Does anyone remember that Amazon started as a bookseller and lost millions each year for the first five years?) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FGP9964

Hi everyone This is Paolo, from the www.chatometry.com team. I just wanted to share something about what we've been doing in the last years. Basically, we identified a reliable method to measure wood chatoyance, which is the way many wood species shift their color depending on the lighting direction. This piece of Sapele is a common example (sanded to 1500-grit with no finish): Now the useful info: we put together a summary table based on thousands of samples, showing the typical chatoyance value of many wood species - here: https://www.chatometry.com/woods/ Each wood can be clicked to reach its specific page, which shows some example of chatoyance on that wood. I hope these data can actually help some of you Paolo

Dear folks, our research category is building up some pretty neat websites to help you research and just simply enjoy. Some of the links available are information sites for Stanley Tools and one of my go to favorites for research is the Renwick Gallery of The Smithsonian Art Museum. I use the Renwick Gallery for research and enjoyment of our notable woodworkers both past and present. Here is a neat link to Sam Maloof at the Renwick Gallery, Maloof on Maloof. If you'd like to see what's cooking at the Research Links Directory please see us at http://thepatriotwoodworker.com/links/category/17-research/ And remember, all our members are able to add their own links to our directory of their favorite places to visit. If a category does not exist for your subject, just give us a holler and we'll build one for you. You can also add your own personal websites to our Links Directory too! Here is a tutorial on adding your own links at Have fun!
