While large furniture projects require lumber that has dried and cured, lots of smaller projects start while the wood is green. All kinds of tableware, from bowls and trays to spoons and spreaders, are roughed out while they’re green. This includes laying out the shape…
…roughing out with axe and adze…
…shaping with drawknife, bent knives, and gouges…
…and then setting aside to dry slowly! Final shaping, smoothing and finishing are completed after a few weeks of drying time.
