Description: When you begin a new project, the most important task will always be choosing the best fit of wood. Whether you are building something out of wood or simply choosing wooden furniture for the house, acknowledging the complexity of wood species and their uses can be very helpful. #woodwork #japanesewoodworkers #WoodworkingEnthusiasts As you know, there are three main types of wood, which are softwoods, hardwoods, and engineered woods. Different types of wood can be used in several different ways. While softwoods are the wood and lumber that are milled from conifer trees such as Pine, Cedar, and Redwood, Hardwoods come from broad-leaved trees that do not produce needles or cones. Examples are oak, maple, and cherry. Hardwood species are not always necessarily stronger than softwoods, but many species are well known for their beautiful and distinct wood grain patterns. Similarly, contrary to popular belief, softwoods are not named softwoods because they are "soft". While it is true that some varieties of hardwoods are very hard and therefore more challenging to work with, the distinction between hardwood and softwood has little to do with the actual softness or whether one wood is harder to work with. Many hardwoods are softer than softwoods. The type of wood left that you may encounter is engineered woods. Engineered woods do not occur naturally in the environment, but instead, are manufactured. These boards are generally made with wood that is then manipulated to have certain qualities or features. It’s often treated through a chemical or heat process to produce a wood product that can meet certain sizes that would be difficult to retrieve from nature. So the question is, how do Japanese woodworkers identify the best type of wood for the work required. Get the answer next week where we will be conducting interviews of the craftsmen; showing how each woodworker classifies wood subjectively within the context of his work, and according to how the choice of wood type is used. The result also reflects the knowledge of traditional craftsmen, thus revealing the way they perceive wood. To make this video getting better, I've written the script very carefully based on some interviews of a few master craftsmen, the Wood and Traditional Woodworking in Japan book, and what I've searched on google for it and hired a professional Male Voice Over to reading it, at the same I have added some shots of mine, new effects work, new music added and a new creation is created as follows: "How Japanese Woodworkers Divide the Wood Into and Its Relation to Exigencies of the Work | Classification of Wood" ► Please Support my Friend's Channel That Linked to My Videos: youtube.com/channel/UCYlyxt5GafZd_sHPE3Dhc9g youtube.com/channel/UC3N0EPxNFKDFKHFNhB9YaZw ► Purchase Incredible Japanese Chisels on Amazon: - By Kakuri: amzn.to/2T63dCL - 5 Piece White Steel Chisel Set by Yataro: amzn.to/2SvC72F - Most Common Japanese CHISEL: amzn.to/2SNxCRc If you enjoyed this video please subscribe & check out my channel: goo.gl/QSNyZs ► Become a member of this channel to get access to perks: youtube.com/channel/UCOzQZI_wz4O_je8KpgIzMDw/join
