I aspire to deepen my understanding of working with wood, and stumbled upon a Japanese wood joint book at the library one day. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail in each joint captivated me. As I delved into the book, I discovered not only the beauty of these joints but also their structural strengths, further piquing my interest. Over the Thanksgiving break, I enthusiastically undertook the challenge of crafting my own Osaka-Gate Joint. The experience proved to be both rewarding and enlightening, as I gained valuable insights into the world of wood tools and techniques.
