    Nothing was provided in this “course” but a copy of Chapter 19 of the USDA Wood Handbook…did I miss something?

    A Guide to Specialty Treatments of Wood - Good Information!

    Course is not overwhelming in the amount of information on the subject. Good knowledge for those designing with wood. ... I recommend taking this if you design or aspire to design with wood products that are laminated, treated, or bent into shape.
