Green wood refers to wood that has been recently cut down and has not had an opportunity to season. Seasoning refers to the drying on the internal moisture that is in the wood. Green wood is considered to have a 100% moisture content relative to air-dried or seasoned wood.
Green wood’s 100% moisture content means that it is flexible and soft, making it very fun to work with on the lathe and it’s very kind on the chisel.
