Wood

Wood working is one of the oldest craft there is. Already in ancient Egypt, wood carving was considered an art form and thanks to the dryness of the climate in the Pharos kingdom, many beautiful pieces survived to this day. Men used wood for about every purpose: to build their homes, their ships, their furniture, and of course to keep themselves warm. The wood burning stove as we know it appeared in Europe in the 18th century, but long before that, brick and mortar hearths were already fueled with wood. Throughout History wood craft flourished: from China to the Russian Steps, from Mediterranean countries to the Americas. In middle age Europe, the sturdy wood table was the center of the house, delicately carved for the nobility, made of rough wood for the commoners. Closer to us, the first Canadians called on wood to build their houses and keep warm during the long Canadian winters. To this day, solid wood furniture appeals to many, for the sense of sturdiness it brings to our home. Wood flooring remain our favorite and we still love to have the traditional wood box around, if only as a decoration. Wood is part of our heritage, intimately linked to the history of mankind.
