I have been studying older furniture and older methods of woodworking seriously for 15 years and have been dabbling at it for over 30. I am neither a researcher nor a writer.

I do not use (much) pre-sawn or kiln dried wood, I prefer to start with a log (or a section of log) and split out pieces that can be used to make furniture. Very like much of the furniture was made during the Middle ages. I also prefer to study the vernacular or common furniture of the era...
