Furniture made from high-quality wood is as durable and timeless as it is pleasing to the senses. More than 30 species of deciduous and coniferous trees and the wood veneers produced from them are explored in this illustrated reference. Each type of wood is closely identified and notable properties such as malleability, durability, methods of treatment and colour changes due to ageing are thoroughly discussed. In addition, there is background information about each type of wood, including the history of its application in furniture making, noteworthy pieces, and unique qualities.
