While bamboo is certainly more versatile, pine wasn't neglected in Japan either.

At first I thought they were off on one end.
Then they disassembled it and I understood.
Amazing skill.

Japs can work wood.

They like to use wood but don't want to cut the trees down in Japan so when they occupied Korea they cut all the trees down and shipped them to Japan. Now a lot of the wood cut in the NW is shipped to Japan. It goes on the ships as trees and arrives as Boards.

That is really something. I was watching some 'Japanese Carpentry' videos recently and was amazed.

There is one for a Pole Tenon Splice or something like that I saw. As they worked on it I was sure they were doing nothing but making sawdust because there was no way it would amount to anything. Incredible to see it come together.

There is a video series about Japanese Furniture Joinery, methods, etc, that was amazing!

Was called "Japanology" video shorts about many facets of Japanese culture. The woodworking ones were really amazing!
