Established in September 2008, this site currently (through December 2021) contains 239,000 words of original content, not including comments, and 1300 original photographs.

Here you will find plenty of serious woodworking instruction, information on tools, shop setup, and wood, along with musings about the craft. All for you to enjoy for free.

Heartwood is one of the longest running continuously active woodworking weblogs on the internet, now with 5.1 million visits and 17 million page views (actual human visits, not bots, crawlers, etc.).

I am always delighted to hear from fellow enthusiasts and anyone exploring fine woodworking.
