about the wood

unfortunately most have lost/forgotten the knowledge of those before us who had a deep connection to nature and knew the benefits of the plants and trees around us.

even now, those who have an interest in such things still overlook the tree/wood -- and that’s where i come in :)

• i invite you to dig even deeper than types i share here -- LEARN more about what’s in YOUR yard/community
• i am not a doctor, etc and the “powers that be” make us state that we’re not and none of this has been “proven” by them - so consider this my disclaimer
• below are JUST A FEW of the things i found about the 4 main woods i use
