Woodworking is the process of making decorative and useful objects from wood, like cabinets, fine tables, instruments, bowls, and more. It encompasses techniques like wood carving,
joinery, and woodturning.
Woodworkers use a large number of different species of wood for their projects. The craftsman carefully chooses the species of wood based on a number of criteria including color, wood grain appreance, and strength or hardness according to the requirements of their project.
The history of tooling used by woodworkers is as old as history itself. Woodworking was around at the start of human civilization and the tools to facilitate woodworking have been there all along.
