I. like. Wood. Just putting it out there. Who the hell doesn't?

By far wood is the most flexible material in the world and probably one of the most gorgeous too. It is available in many different colours, types, strengths - and there are so many different things you can make and make with lumber.

You can basically make anything and whatever from a pen, a car, a total home, a bridge, a PIRATE SHIP - all out of wood! For Christs sake you can even make woodworking tools OUT OF WOOD! For weeping out loud!

Over twenty years back during my carpentry apprenticeship I was informed that if someone had actually invented 'wood' as a product it would be prohibited from sale (certainly by the EU). That's because wood has a lot of flaws. Like difficult knots impossible to nail into. And it contorts, bows, shakes, splits, diminishes & broadens! It might be a nightmare to deal with if you didn't understand how.

Luckily the majority of the above issues can be gotten rid of and avoided if you know the qualities and how to deal with the wood at hand. And then, you might build something incredible.

As a carpenter you ought to never be out of work. No artificial intelligence, no device might ever change or replicate the skillful work a carpenter can do.
