This covers it, from cutting down the tree to finishing the wood floors. If it involves wood construction you'll learn it here. I believe this book is out of print, which is a shame. It is a thorough text and one of the few I could find on the trade. In the age of YouTube DIY (which I'm all for) it is a rare commodity to have a resource that is neither edutainment nor a too brief summary of the best case scenario for the work you'd like to do. This is a serious book for men and women who take pride in their work.
