Book Description
Although almost any type of wood can be used to make furniture, certain woods have long been prized for their beauty, durability, and workability. Most modern furniture is composed of ash, pine, gum, and poplar, with hidden sections made of pine, fir, and other inexpensive woods. Rare woods are exclusively utilized for high-end furniture, and they're frequently combined with less expensive woods. Knowing what kind of wood was used to make your furniture will help you assess its true worth. When you're not sure if an item is worth restoring or should be discarded, wood identification can be the deciding factor.
