This wasn't quite what I was expecting as it is very much geared towards commercial timber yards, mills etc. rather than small scale and/or private means. This aside, it was very informative and I assume its at least fairly accurate although I suspect it may be a little out of date in places (of course, given how little I know about these things, it could still be absolutely spot on!).

I harvest some of my own wood, this book is full of good advice.
