Descrição do livro

Notes On Wood by Joseph Justen is a detailed treatise on the structure, properties, and management of timber. Part I surveys the anatomy of trees—heartwood, sapwood, cambium—and how ring width, density, and moisture reflect climate, soil, and age, with discussions of how growth conditions influence strength, color, and durability. Part II, Constructions in Wood in England, traces the history and practice of timber in architecture and joinery—from primitive shelters to medieval and Tudor timber halls, roofs, screens, and furniture—illustrating with numerous British examples and notes on timber preservation, ventilation, and the handling of sapwood. Part III, Constructions in Wood in Various Countries, extends these observations to Norway, Denmark, Germany, Italy, and beyond, describing notable churches, altars, pews, doors, and other wooden artefacts, highlighting stylistic traits and craft techniques. The work also reviews methods of preserving wood against rot and insects, including oil treatments, copper salts, creosote, and other innovations, and presents experimental data on sap content, specific gravity, and the behavior of wood under moisture and heat. It serves as both technical manual and architectural survey.
