Wood is treasured around the world both as a structural material and for the warmth and natural beauty it brings to our living spaces. Ideal in both contemporary and traditional settings, it can be beautifully simple or exquisitely ornate. Author Carol Soucek King celebrates the splendor of wood ... and its seemingly endless varieties ... in magnificent homes throughout the world. Sumptuous photographs showcase the clean lines of seamless tongue-and-groove paneling, the complexity of intricate inlays, and the craftsmanship of fine cabinetry. Woods such as amaranth, ash, pear, mahogany, bamboo, walnut and fir have been waxed, stained, painted, carved, lacquered or ebonized. The result is a collection of traditional methods of working with wood as well as inspirational new ideas for ceilings, floors, walls, doors, moldings, decks and detailing. International in scope, Designing With Wood is a superb interior idea book and comprehensive resource for designers, architects and anyone who wants to build, buy, renovate or remodel a home.

Designing With Wood,
By
This review is from: Designing With Wood: The Creative Touch (Paperback)
Woodworking has always fascinated me and this book makes me rather envious. I've done all of the wood trim in my house including doors, but that pales in comparison to the efforts depicted in this book. This book shows wood walls, exteriors, furniture, ranging from logs to finely milled railings in all of its wooden splendor. This book gives the wood enthusiast a target to shoot for in his own skill building. Or if one has a lot of money it gives some examples on how to spend it.
