Over twenty years back throughout my woodworking apprenticeship I was informed that if somebody had created 'wood' as a product it would be banned from sale (absolutely by the EU). That's due to the fact that wood has many flaws. Like difficult knots difficult to nail into. And it contorts, bows, shakes, splits, shrinks & broadens! It might be a nightmare to work with if you didn't know how.

Fortunately the majority of the above problems can be overcome and prevented if you understand the characteristics and how to deal with the lumber at hand. And after that, you might construct something amazing.
