Pinewood - Popular and Versatile
Pinewood is highly popular in interior design and furniture.
It's one of the most recognisable types of wood and is used all over the world. We like pine. It has a freshness and it's bright tone adds colour to home interiors. And because it's soft, the wood is perfect for carving. Oak is longer lasting and we like oak. But pine is strong and shock-resistant and therefore perfect for making furniture, especially if you like rustic style.
Pine for pine. Pine is one of the most important trees for their timber and woodworking uses. It's widely used in carpentry objects such as furniture, floors and window frames, panelling and roofing. We like pine. pic.twitter.com/U9jgiJcQdb— Gerrymet Ltd (@sawblades_uk) August 2, 2019

The Complete Guide to Joint-Making by John Bullar
When learning woodworking and joinery, the journey from apprentice to professional is a long and fulfilling one. To master the trade it's neccessary to read some guide books like The Complete Guide to Joint-Making by John Bullar.
A five-star review of the book says: This is a very good book. I’d just completed a week course on basic cabinet making and thought I’d buy it. It covers all the things we did on the course and much more, has clear and concise guides and good pictures. I’ve seen other similar books that while look good, aren’t as easy to follow. It really takes you through every cut and has some great projects, tips, and tricks of the trade. Highly recommended!
That's high praise. So if you want to invest in this joinery book, visit the page below and click on Amazon.

Deckchair - Pinewood
This caught our eye on Facebook. It looks simple but as far as deckchairs go, this is superb and shows how furniture made out of wood is so much more better than things made out of man-made materials such as plastic. Woodwork-produced furniture means more comfort, more style and if you think about it, a wooden deckchair will last much longer than plastic and nylon chairs. If a wooden chair gets worn down, you can always renovate it with tooling and varnish.
Wood is the way forward!
Rip Saws - Buy Online - Delivered to Your Door
Rip blades used for cutting pieces of wood along its grain direction. The cuts made by these rip blades might not be expected to be smooth. But if you compare them to crosscut blades they can cut through wood much faster.

Woodcutting on Different Scales
The cutting and carving of wood takes in thousands of methods. From cutting trees in a lumber-yard to carving faces in a workshop, there are many ways to use wood. It's amazing how woodwork has helped us in our lives with wood being used in furniture making and architecture.
Here are two examples at the opposite ends of the scale.
In the film below you can watch a person cut wood using a band sawmill.
And in this film below you can watch a person hand-carve leaves into a bedpost.
