Modern wood rots in a few years — soft, splintering, and eaten by moisture. Yet medieval buildings made of wood still stand strong after 800 years of rain, frost, and time.
How did medieval peasants, monks, and carpenters know how to make timber nearly immortal? What ancient techniques protected their homes, ships, and barns from decay without modern chemicals or sealants?
In this documentary, we uncover the forgotten science of medieval woodcraft — from oak curing and smoke treatment to salt preservation and mineral sealing. Discover how the Middle Ages mastered the art of wood that never rotted, and why we lost this knowledge in our rush toward industrial progress.
Join us as we trace the story of a lost craft: the secret chemistry, the forests that no longer exist, and the humble builders whose techniques quietly outlasted empires.
