Essential information for wood workers and sculptors

I've never seen another book which covers in such detail the content of this book. Not only does this book do a wonderful job of giving you ideas of where to find wood for your projects (outside of purchase from a commercial outlet), the author also details the processes for cutting, drying, and preparing wood for working. It's a shame it's out of print; such an excellent resource would be invaluable to anyone who has an interest in woodwork.
