Lefteri captures the romance of wood, and the low-tech, enduring appeal of objects made using traditional methods such as turning."The Independent newspaper (UK)"One look at the cover and you know you're in for a treat. The pages bring to life different types of timber to the extent that you can almost feel the grain on the page.

It also takes in wood products such as plywoods, laminates, veneers and MDF. Technical information is included for more than 50 different woods, but the breadth of the subject and the images make this much more then just a textbook.
