sure about exactly what they mean don’t sweat it, we’ve got your back. There was a time when we didn’t understand their significance either. We’ve learned and we'll share. 
Consider this an open invitation to visit our 
Wood
We’re like tree-huggers with ulterior motives. While we’re busy hugging and admiring our trees, you know how people do; giving them a big squeeze around that big old trunk and complimenting them on how pretty they are, we’re thinking: Hmm, how could I slice you up and turn you into a table you big hunk of bark moss? It’s still love, but it’s for a different reason.
If you'd like to learn more about our thoughts on wood keep reading. If you'd like to jump straight to the wood projects list we'll understand.
I’m A Tree Predator, Cool
We know. It’s not very PC, but God didn’t create 
power saws to cut Jello-salad did He? Nope. Saws are for cutting wood and trees are made of wood. For every predator there is prey. Sorry tree, we’re hungry like the wolf.
But this predator/prey relationship is different than most. First, there’s a lot less running involved. You can walk right up to a tree and it won’t budge. True, the tree could drop a coconut on your head but we think that’s more of a wrong place, wrong time thing than a defensive move on the part of the tree. Mostly, you’ll win here.
While you’re busy thinking to yourself that you’re not that way, you’re not a tree-killer, you’re not even a tree threatener, you’re green, and how can people think like this? Keep reading.
I Only Use Mechanical Pencils
Unless you’ve migrated underground and haven’t emerged from your hole, the odds are that you’re a tree-killer too. Ever used a pencil before? Thought so. Ever used a toothpick? Check. In fact we can’t think of a single person who doesn’t interact with wood of some description, on a daily basis.
They Found Him Where?
Now, now, no mincing words. Just because you didn’t actually cut the tree down doesn’t mean you’re not a participant to tree murder. Saddam said he was innocent too when they found him in his little hidey-hole.
I’m Busted
Maybe it’s time to just embrace the horror and admit it; you’re an accessory to rain forest destruction, the loss of old-growth forests, and not the least of which is the destruction of endangered spotted-owl habitat.
Well, we think spotted owls taste a lot like chicken when served with grilled veggies and a bottle of Spatlese.
Hate the game…not the player, Player.
Okay, I’m Good Now
In the end, wood is a pretty useful. You can make chop sticks, splints, spears, booby-traps, buttons, zip-guns, dentures, dreidels, and a few other things with it. Wood rhymes with good for a reason, it's not a coincidence.
Take a look at the Dirty Shirt wood projects list to get some ideas on how we use wood, dead or alive, and how you might be able to do the same. Also, you might want to take a look at the Workshop Tools page to get an idea of the instruments used by the serial tree killer. We believe that anything worth doing is worth doing right.
