Wood Working

Wood, it is said, is the material most like humans.

There is something about working with wood–as a living material–a material that still changes, adapts, responds to weather, even once it has been cut, that makes it unique. There is also the astonishing beauty of wood, as a living material, that bears evidence of the life of the tree from which it came. Woodworking can be approached as a meditation in motion, an opportunity to work with ones hands in intimacy with a malleable material, to shape it precisely, and to work with its particular nature. In this video, we explore some of the practice of working with wood restoratively.

Who taught us this?

I'm not sure who taught us to work with wood. It is something we've been doing for as long as we can remember.
