About

We begin with the material and the decisions around a small project. The aim is to make wood selection, reference samples and project planning easier to understand, without pretending that a photograph is a tool test.

What belongs here

A focused woodcraft publication about reading wood, planning manageable projects and making a useful workshop reference. Topic pages bring related stories together. Each article starts with a practical reader question and makes room for the details needed to answer it.

Sources and photographs

Technical explanations refer to accessible primary sources. Illustrative photographs do not imply a product test or firsthand report. Articles appear under the publication name; we do not invent expert credentials or personal bylines.
