The mastery program at the studio has graduated some amazing woodworkers, I have had the privilege of having some of their graduates on my show.

It's Wood is a show about all things woodworking from the tools we use, to the companies who make them and the artisans who use them. Remember, if its wood, we're good. Each episode I will talk with people from all aspects of wood, tools and woodworking.

I enjoyed the Roy Underhill interview as he has such a great view on life and our business. I am a full time furniture/canoe builder that enjoys hearing the views of other craftsman. I have found that the art of woodworking includes creating your own path and designs. What remains is the art of staying in business.
To a good journey!

Good stuff

I very much enjoyed listening to this podcast. The problem is, whatever kind of editing is being done makes it almost unbearable to listen to. The guest portion all seems to be edited to remove any spaces. That makes it sound extremely jerky and makes it difficult to listen to.  The interviewer portion seems normal. I don’t know if this is done automatically in some editing software or this is a conscious choice.   I listen to a ton of woodworking podcast and this is the only one that seems to do this. I don’t know if the creator understands how difficult it is to listen to?

On a positive note, the topics and guests have all been great!  I would definitely give us five stars if it weren’t for the editing issue that makes it difficult to listen to.

Great show but editing issue....
