Publisher's Synopsis
This book contains a detailed and illustrated guide to American trees and wood finishing. Including information on habitats, identification, and applications, this book will be of much value to the amateur enthusiast and makes for a great addition to collections of such literature. This book is intended for scout organisations, schools, nature study groups, and to all other who are interested in trees and the treatment of the woods that they come from. Many antique texts such as this are increasingly rare and costly, and it is with this in mind that we are proudly republishing this text here complete with a new introduction on wood finishing.
