Читать книгу Firewood: An Expert Introduction to Equipment, Trees, Harvesting and Understanding This Valuable Resource - Troy JD McClain - Страница 3

This book is very in depth and contains more information concerning trees and chain saws then I intended for it to have when I first began writing it. When the endeavor launched it was supposed to be a “general orientation” resource for the uninitiated saw operator. Because the “general orientation” resources are a dime a dozen it quickly evolved into what it is today, as close as I can get to a complete introductory course into the world of trees and chainsaws that I live in daily. This is not an all inclusive mastery guide and is in no way a reasonable replacement for learning hands on from a seasoned pro. The purpose of this writing is to associate you, the novice, with some of the more advanced basics of the art and science behind producing your own firewood. I am sure that there are a myriad of items I have missed, topics I have not addressed that you are looking to have addressed, if that is the case then I apologize, if I have omitted anything it has been left out because at this stage in the game it is too advanced for the typical operator. Included in this work you will find all of the tools that you will require as a firewood processor, even if you have been doing it for years you may very well learn something new.

Throughout this book you will encounter words that you may or may not be familiar with, in preparation of this I have included the glossary at the beginning of the book so you can acquaint yourself with these terms prior to moving into the meat and potatoes of the material and it will be in a convenient place for you to return to as a reference. Like the rest of the book the glossary is far from all inclusive, as a matter of fact, there are a very large number of terms that I have omitted in order to keep from overwhelming you further.
