Wood - The Material Above All Others
The limitless possibilities of wood.
Its color, and its surprising, ever-changing structure. Details arising from grain structure and handprints. Above all, the feeling that wood generates as a material.
Feel the wood with all your senses. As a rule, you only learn this profession on the job; listen, discuss, doubt, experiment, and explore. Take your hands out of your pockets and work humbly.
That's where it starts.
