Wooden products have been accompanying people in everyday life for many centuries. Perhaps there is no more universal material from which you can make anything your heart desires :-)
In addition, wood is often also the most affordable material for crafts. Start with roots, branches, and various twigs collected during a walk in the forest, and create, create, and experiment!
In ancient times, wood was processed using stones or pieces of wood themselves. In the future, it was processed with metal or abrasive materials, first primitive, then more advanced.
It is used to make not only various Souvenirs, paintings, kitchen utensils, but also furniture, toys, and all sorts of things that are so necessary in the household.
Among the crafts there are: carved, inlaid, burnt, combined with straw, jute or other natural materials.
I have long liked wooden boxes. I learned that many wooden objects used to have a special, symbolic meaning. So even the history of the wooden box was filled with myths and legends.
It turns out that the great Zeus hid in such a box all the troubles and hopes, and the Egyptian Cleopatra-weapons and poisons. It was believed that by opening the box, you can be transported to another world and another time. It is not for nothing that many master craftsmen tried to make a secret lock that only the owner could open.
