Round wood woodworking
instruction, regulation, insurance, safety, etc
It would be more accurate to call this badge "Round Wood and Green Wood Woodworking" but that title would be too long.
Round wood is a joy and a challenge to work with. It provides much more strength than dimensional lumber but has bends and curves to work with. Notches, joints and connections become more interesting.
Fresh green wood will shrink which can be a useful property. Green wood is also much easier to carve than dry wood.
This badge allows you to show that you've mastered both round wood and green wood working skills. The badge requires zero glue. Rarely using metal. Everything built from raw logs, branches and sticks. Nothing starts with dimensional lumber, prepared blanks or anything pressure treated.
Power tools can be okay, but, in general, less power tools. Some projects specify no power tools.
