Stan, I'll check the titles/authors when I get into to the shop, hopefully later today. (I just reorganized all my woodturning books and put them in one place, previously mixed with tree ID, general shop, metalworking, etc.) I use several books to look up properties of wood. Some are general wood info books not specifically targeted to woodturners but still useful. There are some not so useful and one in particular I specifically do NOT like! (I have a book-buying addiction) I've been meaning to make a list and write a note on each book. Someday...
Maybe I'll start a new "books about wood for turning" thread here so others can find it easily, comment, and add their favorites.
