Woodworking

As a key application of the raw materials produced through forestry, woodworking is the skilled craft of creating functional or decorative objects from wood. This discipline is a field of applied science that requires a deep understanding of the material's physical properties, such as grain direction and moisture content, to effectively execute techniques like cutting, shaping, and joining. The success of a project relies on applying principles of structural mechanics for durable joinery and the chemistry of adhesives and finishes to ensure the final product is both stable and aesthetically pleasing.
