Craft Course Conversations 1: How Wood Works

Wood Properties

We will be learning about the difference that kiln dried lumber can make on the stability and longevity of a project, the different ways lumber is cut, and important properties of various species. We'll talk about grain direction, hardness, workability, and how wood takes stain or reacts in UV light. We'll also talk about plywood.

This is the first in a series of woodworking conversations. It is not necessary to have attended previous Craft Courses in order to understand.
