Wood Shop News

This monthly newsletter is about all things wood, from making boxes, to tool use, to interesting stray facts. For instance: bamboo, which is becoming popular here in the US, is actually a species of grass. I also write about anything else that interests me (muskrats and rain have both been featured, for instance)
