What happens when you walk away from security to build a life with your hands?
In January 2019, former white-collar professional Steve Smith stepped into the snowy Maine woods with a simple, risky goal: to see if he could make a living using nothing but an axe.
With no formal training and no safety net, Smith began hand-hewing logs into timber beams, learning a heritage craft once essential to survival and now nearly forgotten. What began as an experiment became six years of punishing labor, financial uncertainty, and personal transformation as he built a thriving timber business--and discovered a different measure of success.
Structured around the turning seasons of the Maine woods, Wood Work traces Smith's physical and philosophical journey away from corporate life and toward a livelihood rooted in craft, land, and community. Drawing on his upbringing in a religious cult and a lifelong search for meaningful work, he reflects on what is lost when modern life separates us from making--and what can still be reclaimed.
Clear-eyed, humble, and deeply reflective, Wood Work is a meditation on purpose, resilience, and the enduring human need to shape something real with our own hands.
