Collection of woody vocabulary and a literary reference
Lots of wonderful words and phrases jump out of thinking around wood. I mentioned the veneer metaphor before but more than this many words connect to trees and wood in their origins. i’ll compile a little list…
Snedding, Barking, Snigged
Tug, Twigged, branching out, borker, janker, stumped,
Apparently Evelyn Waughs writing can be linked to marquetry, his interest in the craft being reflected in his intricately inlaid sub plots!
