In almost every endeavor, words guide the work.
We read words of advice and write to share our own.
But it is wood that makes the pencil and the page.

Trained as a word worker, Philip Tschirhart is a scholar of Communication (Ph. D.) who writes about a wide range of topics. However, Philip's experience working with wood sparked a passion for craftsmanship and fueled a sense of pride reserved for the experience of making something by hand.

Beyond the pencil and the page, Word & Wood represents a desire to make and share functional art that creates conversation and community.

If you are a woodworker yourself, be sure to check out the Plans and Templates page where Philip regularly posts information that will help make your own projects.
