Native British Trees

I like the "wooden books" rustic quaint presentation, but was sadly a little disappointed with this one. I had hoped for a little more detail to aid with identifying trees or cut wood. Particularly there seemed little information on bark. The genral shape of trees and the form of their leaves seemed well documented, but for me, all the trees looked a bit tree shape. I am being a bit overly harsh really because I had a wish to identify some cut logs and trees for burning, and have been unable to. If I was just looking at a growing tree, and not cutting branches off it, then this is probably as much information as you might expect. I like to know a little more about the structure and density of wood and the nature of its bark and grain, all of which can assist with identification.To be fair if I wanted a book on identifying trees then maybe I should have looked for just that.A nice little companion for a walk among the trees

Lovely little book. Surprisingly good amount of information for such a small concise book

Thoughtfully designed and produced in all recycled materials, as all the Wooden Books are. Basic information about native British trees, and, as it is written by a woodsman, giving the major uses and burning characteristics of each species. The illustrations lift it above the ordinary - crisply reproduced, full page, black and white engravings from 16th and 18th century works, which are just superb, plus modern silhouettes and leaf, blossom, seed and fruit for each tree. Pocket size makes it easy to take on a forest walk.

OK book

This book was a present for someone and it was everything they wanted, recycled, hand drawn short discriptions but with all the info there. It is a very good book and a great size as well for when your walking. Thankyou for sending it so quickly as well :)

Very clear and distinct leaf shapes in illustrations.Black and white makes lines clear but lack of colour is a problem for some species.

Taken me a while to write this but nevertheless great product, great service all round satisfaction.

A well made little book well illustrated and thoughtfully written up
