- The guide compares lime, oak, and pear wood as distinct responses to the same carving tool.
Field notes
The homepage functions as both an index and a continuous bench-side lesson, with sections numbered from wood selection through chip repair. Its explanations compare how lime, oak, and pear behave under the same iron, then connect grain direction to splintering, tool geometry, sharpening, depth, background texture, and finish. The extract shows a public reading experience with contact and policy navigation but no visible account or payment requirement.
