Custom sawing, different kinds of saws, and differences in sawing methods for hardwood and softwood trees are discussed to help beginners make informed choices. The final step before woodlot owners can begin planned projects is seasoning, or drying, the lumber. The book explains shrinkage and the possible defects involved in the drying process. Woodlot owners may keep the lumber produced for their own use or, possibly, trade it for other materials. Appendixes in the book list use requirements for several structural building members and provide addresses to write for project ideas and plans.
