I. like. Wood. Simply putting it out there. Who the hell does not?

Without a doubt wood is the most flexible material on earth and arguably among the most stunning too. It is available in many different colours, forms, strengths - and there are many different things you can make and make with lumber.

You can pretty much make anything and whatever from a pen, a car, a total house, 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 earlier during my woodworking apprenticeship I was informed that if someone had actually invented 'wood' as a material it would be banned from sale (certainly by the EU). That's since wood has a lot of flaws. Like tough knots difficult to nail into. And it warps, bows, shakes, splits, shrinks & expands! It might be a headache to work with if you didn't understand how.

Fortunately the majority of the above issues can be gotten rid of and prevented if you understand the characteristics and how to work with the lumber at hand. And then, you might build something amazing.

As a carpenter you should never run out work. No expert system, no device might ever change or duplicate the competent work a carpenter can do.
