Books by Andy Reynolds

From growing trees, through felling them, to selecting appropriate round wood and species for the tasks you have in mind, Andy Reynolds brings a lifetime of experience in forestry, carpentry and innovative thinking to timber for building. He explains how to efficiently convert your chosen wood to usable timber and get the best out of your equipment, before outlining different drying methods and taking you on to preparing the timber for your particular project. Extensively illustrated, timber for building provides a unique resource.

This second, expanded edition reflects improvements in wood-fuelled appliances, developments in the type and availability of wood-based fuels and the author's own recent experience of installing and using an automated biomass system. Also includes how to choose, size, install and/or build a wood stove, plus how to obtain, grow and store firewood, health and safety, chainsaws, water heating and cooking with wood.
