Over twenty years ago throughout my carpentry apprenticeship I was told that if someone had actually developed 'wood' as a product it would be prohibited from sale (absolutely by the EU). That's since wood has so many flaws. Like tough knots difficult to nail into. And it contorts, bows, shakes, divides, shrinks & expands! It could be a headache to deal with if you didn't understand how.

Fortunately the majority of the above issues can be gotten rid of and avoided if you know the qualities and how to deal with the lumber at hand. And then, you might develop something remarkable.

As a carpenter you ought to never ever run out work. No artificial intelligence, no device could ever change or reproduce the experienced work a carpenter can do.
