Working Green Wood. So you've decided to rough turn or carve a green (wet) project, and set it aside to dry. Green wood can be easier to work with, as it is soft and forgiving.
Green wood is soft and therefore easy to work with hand tools; this reduces the need for power tools, which are noisy, dangerous, require electricity and can cause dust-related respiratory problems. All the tools are traditionally hand forged, they have undergone a design process involving many professional green woodworkers from the global green woodworking.

Unseasoned wood (or green wood) is just wood that has been recently harvested, which therefore means that the wood has a high moisture content (since it hasn't had time to dry out).
Mist and cover work between carving sessions. Green wood is soft and therefore easy to work with hand tools; this reduces the need for power tools, which are noisy, dangerous, require electricity and can cause dust-related respiratory problems. Unseasoned wood is wood that has been freshly felled or preserved by storing it in a water-filled trough or pond to maintain its naturally high moisture content.
