So we watched the Ben Law DVD "Roundwood Timber Framing" which ends with a song about "nice and smooth for the ladies". Which then sets the theme for this podcast.

Krista, the only female in this podcast, educates us on parts of the DVD that she thought ladies would appreciate.

We talk about round wood, natural methods, screwing, pounding , tools, the wood, movement of wood, shrinkage, pegs, polishing wood, hard wood, dead wood, live logs, girdling trees, tight fit, pole structures, dry poles, standing timber, wet logs, wet wood, curved wood and straight wood, Dick Proenneke, small wood, growth rate, butter, hand tools, measuring wood, grip, "twice as long", "wet is relative", tie it down, fridge turtles, moisture, big things, overhang, 14 inch logs, "they would pull out a four inch log and a guy would sit on it", bent wood, tool envy, manpower, women can do it, nailing, techniques, outdoor, Krista's kitten. And, of course, there is a happy ending.
