Welcome back in my Apprentice Woodworker's Blog!
We continue our Trip inside the Joinery facing one of the most important issues: Wood Types (or, more properly, Wood Species) .
You can't plan and start a job without knowing the material that you'll use!
And you can't choose the right wood if you don't know the characteristics of the most common species at least.
Often, in front of an object or furniture made of wood , appreciating the warmth and grain I asked myself:
What kind of wood it is?
That's why I asked George (the woodworker who guides me in this adventure) to help me carry out this essential guide.
In fact, continuing to read this article you too can:
- Recognize the most common Wood Types
- To know its characteristics
- Choose the right material for your projects
