The Value of Wood and Craftsmanship

Wood serves as a crucial, yet often overlooked, element in our lives, providing a connection to nature and history. The craftsmanship involved in working with wood is described as both emotional and sensual, with master woodworker Callum Robertson emphasizing the stories embedded in each piece. As he handpicks timber, he considers not just its practical aspects but also the journey the wood has undergone throughout its life. This perspective reveals wood as not merely a material, but a narrative record shaped by environmental conditions, which deepens our appreciation for the furniture we often take for granted.
