Woodworking

Woodworking is the process of building, making or carving something using wood. It is a craft that is likely as old as man himself, evolving from basic essentials made from local trees to heirlooms built from exotic imported wood. Both hand tools and power tools are used in most home woodworking shops. There are many facets of woodworking, carpentry, carving, turning and furniture making are a few, even these divisions can be broken down into categories. It can be either a career or a rewarding hobby, sometimes both.
