This is the book about wood that we wished we’d had when we started woodworking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is, above all, succinct, easy to understand and perfectly suited for the furniture-maker. As important as what is in its 160 pages is what is not. It’s not a detailed analysis of cell growth. It is not a heap of tables and equations for figuring truss loads in residential construction. It is decidedly not a scientist’s approach to the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, “With the Grain” contains the facts you need to know at the lumberyard, in the woodlot and in the shop. It gives you enough science so you understand how trees grow. It explains the handful of formulas you have to know as a furniture-maker. And it gives you a hearty dose of specific information about North American species that will inspire you. Becksvoort encourages you to use the trees in your neighborhood and makes the case that just because you cannot find catalpa at the lumberyard doesn’t mean it’s not a good furniture wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll learn to identify the trees around you from their silhouette, leaves and shoots. And you’ll learn about how these species work in the shop – both their advantages and pitfalls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecksvoort then takes you into a detailed discussion of how wood reacts to it environment – the heart of the book. You’ll learn how to calculate and accommodate wood movement with confidence and precision. And you’ll learn how to design furniture assemblies – casework, drawers, doors and moulding – so they will move with the seasons without cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s also a chapter on how to manage a small forest or copse of trees – how to care for them, encourage them to thrive and harvest them.

The binding on this 8-1\/2\" x 11\" book is sewn. It is hardbound with a green cotton cover. For the third revised edition, Becksvoort added details on 10 North American trees that were not in previous editions.

But instead of employing precise dimensions, angles, and diagrams, Klein focuses on the skills and techniques that enable an artisan to adapt and cut joinery for almost any project. This is not a book of “DIY tricks” for making dovetails in half the time. Rather, it is a step-by-step guide to understanding, laying out, and efficiently executing joinery, based on the methods of period craftsmen as shown in the furniture they made.
