A Reverence for Wood by Eric Sloane. Copyright 1965

This is the only book I have by Eric Sloane. He is the author of many books mostly about early Americana. Reverence for Wood tells about the many uses of wood in early America and even gives descriptions of many trees.

I like this book because I also have a reverence for wood. I have a hard time letting go of old things made of wood. The bookmark in this book is made of wood–Eastern Red Cedar.
