Pressure treated wood for your deck, or natural cedar? Raw wood, mineral oil, or butcher block conditioner for your cutting boards? Is spalted wood safe? What exactly is a burl? Don’t solid slabs warp over time, and what’s the deal with epoxy fill tables and resin cutting boards? Join Dr. Seri Robinson, professor of wood anatomy, on a two-day myth-busting extravaganza. Come with your questions and urban legends around wood and Dr. Robinson will break down the science—and the mythology—around each one. Learn how wood interacts with water, how strength properties (and bending properties!) change over time, what makes some woods unsafe, and how to make selections about what wood to use for what purpose. No question is too wild, or simplistic, or weird. Whatever you’ve been wondering about wood, whatever wild theories you’ve heard, bring them on over and get wood science, not wood fiction.
