From the Roots Up: Why We Start With the Tree
While most woodworking projects begin at a lumberyard, we believe the best stories start much earlier. At Wild Edge Woodcraft, we don’t just buy boards—we steward the entire journey from standing timber to finished heirloom. Whether we’re upcycling local urban trees, milling a sentimental log from your own property, or helping you pick the perfect piece from our kiln-dried Slab Wall, our process is rooted in honoring the wood from the very beginning.
Explaining Various Types of Kitchen Countertops - Plastic Laminate, Solid Surfacing, Wood and Stainless Steel Countertops
It's fair to say that the countertop is like the carpenter's workbench. It's where we lay out supplies, peel and chop, roll and knead, mix and serve. It needs to be tough, level, smooth, and large enough for the work we do.
Various Types of Open Shelves – Standard Guidelines for Shelf Sizing, Installation and Finishing
While cabinets are a kitchen backbone, providing invaluable closed storage space, open shelving is a useful and visually appealing alternative worth incorporating into any kitchen design. Open shelves are perfect for showing off kitchen treasures and dishware, and they can make retrieving and putting things away fast and simple. On the downside, open shelves allow contents to get dirty or dusty faster, and neatness or the lack of it, is always on display.

Tips and Tricks for Buying the Right Quality Wood
Buying wood is a continuous process. Most of the times, it is a part of the challenge and fun of woodworking. There are many sources for your material, and it is beneficial to investigate them all.
Controlling Wood Movement – Essential Facts to Consider in Furniture Making
It is important to consider two simple and essential facts while making furniture successfully. The first is that wood moves. This means that it takes in and releases moisture, resultantly it swells or shrinks. This swelling and shrinking may sometimes be hardly noticeable or it may be quite significant, depending on the type of wood and the amount of humidity in the air. The second fact is that nothing can stop this movement.
Wood Finishing – Why is it Important?
The process of applying finish and coats to the wood is a long and backbreaking labor that most people will prefer to avoid. It is also hard to predict what will happen when you are busy trying to protect your wood. Some individuals also believe that a piece of wooden furniture looks good the way it is without any form of coating or finishing applied to it.
