Good wood


There is a physical part of woodworking thats just grunt work like unloading wood. Get the gloves on, hand 'em over, line up some saw horses, move the car. In the rithym of work I get to lift and move each board so I feel the weight and density of the wood, little variations in each species, each tree. I can find boards from the same tree, I can sort for straight grain good frame wood, I can look for wavy grain for panels and so on. Good wood for the project, it all starts here.
