[MR] the right wood books to start with

[logan]

rebecca,

i have a folder on one of my computers or on a disk (checked my server and
im not seeing that i uploaded them) of some really fantastic books on
medieval woodworking (more scholarly than pattern stuff which sounds like
what you buddy needs).  they are all .pdfs but are huge files and not good
for email.  if/when i can find them i can either ftp them to my server and
give you the info for your friend to download the files or i can burn them
to a dvd and ship them to him/you whichever you like.

regards
logan

I have a friend who has a bunch of tools and makes some great benches but
his wood projects are not documented very well.

I was thinking of getting him a copy of Medieval Furniture (can't remember
the author) but I'm wondering if that's the right way to start.  I had a
vague recollection that some wood people didn't like that book for one
reason or another but I can't remember why.

What should a new wood furniture person be reading to get pointed in the
right direction on Medieval furniture?

Keep in mind he's not a beginning wood person but a lot of his stuff is just
not documented very well.
