Green wood refers to freshly cut timber that contains a high moisture content, making it flexible and easier to work with than seasoned wood. This type of wood is often used in various crafts, such as carving and furniture making, because it can be shaped and manipulated before it dries out and hardens. However, green wood can also be prone to warping and cracking as it dries. It is important for artisans to understand the properties of green wood to effectively use it in their projects. Common tools for working with green wood include knives, chisels, and drawknives.
