Woodworking has a history dating back to early humanity and was important for survival. Ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Chinese employed woodworking, with the Egyptians gluing wood sheets for boat hulls as early as 3000 BC. Traditional Chinese woodworkers rarely used nails or adhesives. Woodworking evolved alongside humanity and became an art form as new techniques developed. Today some woodworkers use classic oriental techniques without electricity, nails or glue.

In an era where technology reigns supreme, wood, as crucial as it is in the world, may often be disregarded and discounted.
Wood is a significant natural resource that can be used for a variety of purposes.
Woodworking has a history that goes back so far, it is virtually identical to that of humans.
Woodworking was vitally important for making survival items like Shelters and objects for hunting.
Wood was one of the most important materials used by early humanity, alongside animal parts, clay and stone.
The extension of human evolution was inextricably linked to the development of woodworking abilities.
Even our desire to make kids happy via wooden toys dates back thousands of years and evidence of this has been found throughout the world.
Woodworking was employed by the ancient Chinese and Egyptian civilisations
The early Egyptians have been gluing wood sheets together to make boat hulls since at least 3000 BC.
Traditional Chinese woodworkers rarely utilized adhesives or nails in the joinery which I think is amazing when you observe the intricacy of the
palaces, temples and pagodas that were built with wood.
Woodworking evolved alongside humanity, eventually becoming an art from as people learned new techniques and talents.
Very detailed wood figurines were an important feature of temples and palaces in ancient Thailand.
Carpenters in the ancient middle east were frequently tasked with building or repairing ploughs or threshing sleds (used to separate cereals
from their straw), fabricating roofing beams or shaping a yoke for a fresh team of oxen.
There were many skilled woodworkers in the Roman Empire and were often engaged with building spectacular warships and barges used for
attacking enemy cities, as well as powerful and destructive battering rams and catapults.
The Romans used timber scaffolding, as well as adzes (an ancient and versatile cutting tool similar to an axe but with the cutting edge
perpendicular to the handle rather than parallel), files, planes, saws and drills, particularly the bow drill to construct aqueducts and waterworks.
