Forests, distinct from all their other services and benefits, supply a basic raw material - wood - which from the earliest times has furnished mankind with necessities of existence and with comforts and conveniences beyond number. 
One major use has always been in structures, particularly in housing. But despite wood's long service in structures, it has not always been used efficiently. In these days when the Nation is trying to utilize its resources more fully, better and more efficient use of the timber crop is vital. 
As an aid to more efficient use of wood as a material of construction, this handbook was prepared by the Forest Products Laboratory. It was the first institution in the world to conduct general research on wood and its utilization. The vast accumulation of information that has resulted from its engineering and allied investigations of wood and wood products over seven decades - along with knowledge of everyday construction practices and problems - is the chief basis for this handbook. 
Individual chapters describe not only the wood itself, but wood-based products, and the principles of how wood is dried, fastened, finished, and preserved from degradation in today's world. Each chapter is climaxed with a bibliography of allied information. A glossary of terms is presented at the end of this handbook.

Wooden Box and Crate Construction (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Wooden Box and Crate Construction The National Association of Box Manufacturers is an organization of the leading manufacturers' of wooden boxes of every section of the country. Many of its members also make other types or kinds of boxes, but the association con fines its activities to the interests of the wooden box. The association aims to promote all projects of genuine interest to its members; to obtain a unity of action in mat ters affecting the wooden box industry; to advertise properly the merits of wooden boxes, and to be, in fact, a constructive in&#64258;uence in the improvement of conditions in the industry and better service for consumers. And by the same token the association stands guard against any project or practice which may, in any way, -bring wooden box service into dis favor or disrepute.

Since it was first issued in 1935 the Wood Handbook, developed by scientists at the USDA Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin has served as the preeminent source of information on wood and wood products. This 1999 edition of the Wood Handbook reflects a complete revision of the last edition published in 1987, and presents many new chapters on new products and processes. Subjects covered in this 428-page handbook include 1) basic wood and wood product characteristics and properties, 2) various wood manufacturing processes, 3) processes to enhance the performance of wood products, 4) structural design information, and 5) specifications and rules for the proper use of wood products. The Wood Handbook contains nearly 200 figures and over 100 tables.
