Being able to identify wood is actually a legitimate skill if you're in a line of work that involves carpentry and whatnot. I quite frankly don't see what's so funny about it.

Actually, if you're a cabinetmaker or what have you it is extremely useful to be able to identify a wide range of woods. Some can kill you if you breathe in the dust from them by causing a severe allergic reaction in the lungs. That being said, this is a repost.

I've used this book for a class before. Interesting.

[–]professorunderpants 0 points1 point ago

I literally just read this book.

I like how your title implies that you are aware that this is a re-post, but you decide to post it anyways.

Scratch that, I hate it. Fuck you.
