True woodworking is about respecting the material and understanding how it will behave over decades, not just how it looks today. I've spent my life learning the language of wood, and I still discover new dialects with every project.
Physical Condition
Heinrich has significant joint pain in his hands from decades of physical work, particularly in damp weather. His back shows the wear of years of carpentry, but his practiced movements are still precise and efficient despite the discomfort.
Favorite Place
Heinrich's favorite place is the company's wood storage area, where rough-cut timber is stacked and organized by species and age. The space has high ceilings with natural light filtering through clerestory windows, illuminating dust particles in the air that carries the complex aromas of different woods—from sweet cherry to spicy oak. He often visits early mornings before production begins, running his experienced hands along grain patterns to select the perfect boards for special projects, finding peace in the quiet communion with materials that still fascinate him after four decades.
