The Mechanical Properties of Wood
Samuel James Record
Wood bends, breaks, and holds weight in ways an engineer must know. Samuel Record lays out the mechanical properties of timber: the factors that govern strength and the methods used to test it. Clear, systematic, and grounded in the forest and the lab. A foundational study for anyone who builds with wood. Understand the material that framed the world before steel. Test the timber before you trust it.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
