Woodworking

Wood
Hand Plane and Wood Shaving Curl

The craft of shaping wood into useful and beautiful things: furniture, cabinetry, carving, joinery and turning. One of the oldest of all human skills, developed to a high art in ancient Egypt and China, and still the gateway craft for most home workshops, where a few hand tools and a bench are enough to begin.

FAQs

Who is credited with founding Chinese woodworking?

Tradition credits the legendary craftsman Lu Ban, active around the Spring and Autumn period.

Chinese woodworking tradition names Lu Ban, working in the Spring and Autumn period (roughly 771 to 476 BC), as its founding figure, crediting him with introducing tools including the plane and the chalk line. The manual of techniques later attributed to him, the Lu Ban Jing, was compiled roughly 1,500 years after his death, so the historical craftsman and the craft lore built around his name are not the same thing.
