Peter Sefton Timber Selection Download

I have allways been interested in different types of wood and are gearing up for a lot of different projects now that I am near retirement from my career in telephony.
The document is very informative and I learn a lot.
Thanks Peter!

Having watched a lot of Youtube videos on similar topics, its amazing to see the difference a professional production coupled with the experience of a recognised and well respected teacher can bring to a subject. This is the third download I have purchased and in my opinion this is a small price to pay for the depth of information covered on each topic along with the logical presentation as Peter takes you through each stage. Throughly recommended, it does make me think what I am missing out on by not signing up for one of Peter's courses if this is what I can learn in approximately an hour from a video. As a keen hobby woodworker it has been said that Youtube can only take you so far and based on what I have learned from these three video downloads I think its inevitable that I will download more of these and eventually sign up for the beginners woodworking course with Peter. Very highly recommended.

After watching this video several times and reading what other reviewers say I find I am lost for words! One cannot say more in praise of Peter and his coverage of the subject, This tutorial was so badly needed especially to give confidence to those without experience and in need of a wise mentor.

Ive learned so much from Peter talking through the different species and what they are best used for. Seeing the selection process is a huge help for me. When I have bought boards I just take what's available. Now that I know what I should be looking for, I'll save a lot of time and money. Peter really goes over what to look out for and what to avoid. He also shows what can be very desirable which is very useful information indeed. The drying process and moisture levels have always been confusing to be but not now. Peter makes it very easy to understand and gives some great guides to work to.

I was given this set as a surprise gift and it has opened my eyes to what is involved in selecting the right piece of timber. However, far more importantly it has rekindled my desire to do hand wood working some 60 years on from my last school woodworking classes. The first set of dovetails now completed and as I improve I will be looking for better timber.
Having watched Peter’s clear and precise introduction here I now understand why his students produce such excellent work. I cannot recommend this set to highly and friends who have watched with me were also very impressed. Now for the next video on timber preparation.
