Green Woodworking
Green Woodworking is a traditional craft that involves shaping and working with freshly cut wood, also known as "green" wood. This technique allows artisans to create functional and artistic items using tools like knives, axes, and chisels. The moisture content in green wood makes it easier to carve and shape, resulting in unique textures and forms.
Practitioners of green woodworking often focus on sustainable practices, using locally sourced timber and minimizing waste. Common projects include furniture, utensils, and decorative pieces. This craft not only connects artisans to nature but also promotes a deeper appreciation for the materials and techniques involved.
