Woodworking With Hand Tools | Primitive Wood Carving | Traditional Woodworking

So what is the definition of a traditional woodworker? Is it someone who makes furniture only by candlelight and mocks the use of modern power tools for woodworking? To me, traditional woodworking is the use of traditional woodworking with hand tools, finishes and methods to produce beautiful, quality furniture that will last many lifetimes.

Personally, I like to use traditional wood carving tools, but I incorporate a mix of hand and power woodworking tools to balance personal satisfaction and productivity. Whichever balance of power and hand tools you choose, I strongly recommend that you learn the basics of woodworking with hand tools to better understand traditional furniture making. And you'll also find that some woodworking tasks are actually faster with hand-held woodworking tools!
