Hosted by : Patrick Christie – TWIG Organizer – Daly Co. Design

Whether you’re new to the wood industry or simply curious about the material, Wood Basics is the ideal workshop for those without a formal background in wood science or hands-on experience. This engaging session offers a high-level overview of wood anatomy, science, and a tree’s journey to becoming processed into a finished product.

The workshop approaches wood from a product development perspective, delving into species, grading, and woodcuts to reveal what makes each piece unique. You’ll gain insights into the processes that transform raw logs into workable lumber, followed by an exploration of tools for component manufacturing, laminating, and joinery. Alongside these technical aspects, Patrick will share fascinating facts and unique insights he’s gathered over the years, offering a fresh perspective on trees and wood.
