Hi all. I'm a licenced general carpenter, trying to make the switch to timberframing, and am feeling these days like I'm missing something important in understanding the way that wood works. I can cut accurately with the mortice machine, and all the saws, but when it comes to chisel work, the results are sometimes less than spectacular. Can anyone recommend "the" book that will help me understand how to work the wood? Use the grain to my advantage? Deal with nasty knots?
Thanks
dave
