   As a period conscious furniture maker, we all struggle with the time it takes to document our next project so we can start Working Wood. If all the members could share their processes & resources to document their projects, maybe we could benefit from each other’s experience and knowledge. The goal of the round table discussion is to help each other with the planning stage to get to working wood quicker.  And maybe with more confidence that we have covered all the bases.  If each member could bring their lists of resources and ideas to discuss this topic,
