Wood Uses & Properties

There are many uses for lumber, but one of the rarities are the woodworkers. My dad is one of those individuals, still keeping the tradition alive by taking lumber and making it into a piece of furniture. I find it amazing how my dad is able to use rough cut timber and be able mold it into a masterpiece. The links and video will be a way to be introduced to the use and properties of wood.
