A pocket reference for ship and boat builders, lumber merchants, saw-mill men, farmers and mechanics.

Learn how to split rails, pull stumps, harden wood for pulleys, and educate yourself on the weight of cord wood by species, rope strengths, when to cut down a tree and what to substitute for black walnut! When it was published in 1905 this little book would have been carried to and fro the farm, lumberyard, and forest: ready for consultation at a moment's notice. This edition is an exemplary reprint of the original artifact, and a must-have for any self-respecting axe man, wood worker, and or handyman.
