From "A Splintered History of Wood":
"Without Wood…we…simply might not be here at all. We wouldn't have had the fire, heat, and shelter that allowed us to expand into the colder regions of world. We wouldn't have had boats for exploring this wonderful planet. If every oxygen-generating, carbon dioxide consuming, wood-producing tree on earth were to suddenly die, humankind would have a rough go of if indeed. The adage "Man has no older or deeper debt than that which he owes to trees and their wood" has a truthful ring to it."
As Pen turners we have the privilege and honor to see the beauty and utility of wood that others do not recognize or take for granted. Here's to wood.
