woodworking sub culture


interesting once you look around at the different sub cultures
that appear in the different hobbies that exist

woodworking sub culture has many sub cultures within

there are the scroll saw folks
the turners
the cabinet makers
carvers
sculptors
wood burners
now there are cnc only wood workers

have probably missed some

even within some of those above there is some specificity

like some turners only like bowls or hollow forms

the chain saw sculptors

i like the challenge of repurposing discarded pieces and rarely buy
new lumber

but have no choice but to mix it up depending on what i am making
