It all started with wood

Has anyone imagined how life was like way back when? Has anyone given a thought as to how the “prehistoric” men and women were able to survive their environment? How did, say, the Neanderthals, or those that came before them, ever survive?

Studies would teach that civilizations started near bodies of water. These provided them the basic necessities for food, farming, and most probably hygiene as well; however, how did the early people manage to cook their kills and catches? How did they stay warm on a winter night? It is but right to believe that, together with water, wood was just as an essential part of building civilization as is known today, and was probably more important in the time before time. Wood would have been a primary aid that they’d seek for most things they need to do. Fishing rods, campfire logs, weapons and armory – all of these were made of wood.

In today’s time, wood is no longer taken with a grain of salt. It is a real pleasure to know, however, that there are those like Laguna Tools and Shiloh Cabinetry who still give respect to how important wood is to man’s everyday life, and even incorporates modern-day twists to every piece they make.

People should be brought back to marvel at the basics of the past to better understand and appreciate what they have in the present, and wonder at what they may have in the future.

Laguna Tools is a pioneer in the woodworking business. To know more about the company, follow this Twitter.
