Taking the natural shape of the wood into consideration and working with imperfections it has, such as knots and bumps. Don't try to fix or exclude them but rather make them part of your design.

When choosing wood, think about how it makes you feel. Do you get a sense of warmth or wellbeing from a particular piece? Does the color or grain of wood appeal to you? Run your hand over it and see if you feel a connection.

Preparing wood for working:

Preparing the timber

If you are working with an uncut log, cut it, paying close attention to the grain. Whether you choose to cut it along the grain or perpendicular to it will depend on what features you want the wood to have. The timber thickness is measured using a line-marking gauge, and a ruler is used to discern thickness before the wood is planned to the required size. Once your wood is ready, you can move on to the next step.
