Then, we dive into understanding wood itself , the types, grain patterns, and how each behaves differently under your tool. This part felt like meeting an old friend I didn’t know I had! Using chisels and mallets, we practiced basic strokes, and I could almost hear the wood whispering back with every shaving that curled off.
