But first of all: Why is wood so awesome?

Wood is not only a beautiful building material for indoor use but also impresses with countless positive side effects on the psyche and body and is also an important climate protection and economic factor.

• Wood as an economic factor In Austria, around 300,000 people live from the forest. In comparison, 248,000 people work in healthcare, 246,000 in construction and 204,000 in hospitality.
• Forest Cities? Although, to Donald Trump's misunderstanding, we cannot boast of any "Forest Cities" in Austria, 47.9% of the area is still covered by forest and 1 cubic meter of wood grows every second!
• Climate protection factor wood: With every cubic meter of wood used, a ton of CO2 is bound in the long term and at the same time a new tree grows back and closes the cycle!

• Step 1: What type of wood are you? Old wood or new wood?

Matthias initially considered several different types of wood. Among other things, he has taken a closer look at cherry wood. After further consideration, however, he decided on the slightly cheaper reclaimed oak. However, as with so many things, this decision is very individual and not all wood is the same.

• Step 2: Gluing, planing, sanding & painting

In the second step, Matthias was primarily concerned with gluing the individual boards of the old oak together, planing off any rough unevenness and carefully sanding the table.
