The wood grain is the most important trick to working correctly. If you choose the wrong direction while carving or cutting, the wood fibers will tear and the surface will be damaged. In this video, I explain in detail how to understand the wood grain, what to pay attention to when working with hand tools (chisels, planes, cutting tools), and how to notice changes in direction. If you are interested in wood carving, carpentry, or woodworking as a hobby, this information will bring you one step closer to mastery.
