This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

The photo above shows the use of the book Winter Twigs of Arkansas by G. Thomas Clark. While the book is out of print, it can be a valuable resource for rustic furniture makers in the Eastern or Central US hoping to use their work to connect more deeply with the natural world. As you can probably guess, the twig shown is black cherry. You can also find a hardwood winter twig key online from Michigan State University, or from Virginal Tech.
