Go against the grain and learn the real details about a material that’s all around you, with What’s That Wood?, a workshop presented by the Ohio Woodland Stewards Program. The session will explore what distinguishes one wood from another, and teach the skills to identify key features like hardness, porosity, resin canals and more. You’ll learn the uses and history of each kind of wood and how to identify them at a glance. It’s ideal for landowners looking to manage their property, remodelers looking for perfect materials, or anyone curious about a beautiful material with a rich history. $35, or $60 with a wood kit of 24 species.
