Late Paleolithic (c. 12,000 BCE):  Charred wooden spear shafts, digging sticks, and simple shelters discovered at sites such as Kalambo Falls (Zambia) and Schöningen (Germany). Earliest proof that humans shaped wood for hunting, cooking, and housing.

 

Neolithic Revolution (c. 10,000 – 4000 BCE):  Mortise‑and‑tenon joints in water wells (e.g., Altscherbitz, Germany); plank boats in Kuwait’s As‑Sabiyah.  

 

Predynastic and Old Kingdom Egypt (c. 4000 – 2100 BCE):  Fine beds, chairs, and coffins; dovetail and box joints; veneer and inlay work.

 

Sumer and Akkad (c. 3000 – 2000 BCE):  Teak‑and‑acacia furniture fragments at Mohenjo‑Daro; turned ivory and wood objects.  Water‑tight teak plug‑and‑socket joins, high‑precision weights and measures.  

 

Shang Dynasty China (c. 1600 – 1046 BCE):  Sophisticated furniture, timber‑frame architecture with complex joinery that prefigures later Dougong brackets.

 

Classical Greece (c. 800 – 300 BCE):  Iron saws & augers, bow‑drills, adjustable clamps, early compasses.  Trireme warships, precise joinery (pegs, tenons) allowing hulls without metal nails.

 

Imperial Rome (c. 200 BCE – 300 CE):  Workbenches, vises, and tools preserved at Pompeii & Herculaneum; Vitruvius’s De Architectura.  Iron frame saws, wooden screw clamps, planes with iron soles.  Standardized furniture, water‑powered sawmills (Hierapolis), advanced framing for multi‑story buildings.

Everything we make is printed - not pressed.  This creates a much softer graphic, that flows freely with the garment.
