This comprehensive practical guide, written for D.I.Y. enthusiasts, renovators, woodworkers, and students alike, cuts through the confusion of timber selection by presenting the properties, characteristics, and ideal applications of a wide range of wood species in a clear, authoritative format. Now fully revised and expanded in its Second Edition, the guide instructs readers on how to match the right timber to the right task — whether that means choosing a hardwood for a load-bearing structure or selecting the perfect grain for a fine furniture finish.\n\nJohn Stacpoole writes with the precision of a craftsman and the clarity of an experienced educator, ensuring that even those new to woodworking can navigate the complexities of timber selection with confidence. The book argues convincingly that understanding your materials is the foundation of any successful building or renovation project, and it illustrates this principle through detailed breakdowns of timber types, their durability, workability, and availability. A must-have reference that sits as comfortably on a workshop bench as it does on a student's desk, this guide leaves readers with one compelling question: what could you build if you truly knew your timber?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161024700635,"sku":"2026200011296-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c37ab18b-c0eb-4ef0-b2dc-1d7d58e9f090.png?v=1787189306","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011296-secondhand-what-timber-will-i-use","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
