Was Nah-doo-si a woodworker? And can you reference a source for that fact?

This depends upon your point of view.

Nah-doo-si is the Creator.

None of us have made a tree.

True Larry, but we are looking for humans, just as we cannot use GOD or Buddah as the first woodworker, we are looking for humans only, of this earth, fictional or non-fictional, but human beings. I do appreciate your point of view my friend.

John,

I guess you're stuck with Noah, unless Joseph came before. ( I'm just a dumb half-breed)

But you can check this timeline, it doesn't give many names though.

Join the club Larry, dumb half breed here, Scott/German. Perhaps if we disqualify Noah, that would open up a whole new realm of timelines. I knew once Noah was brought in it would be hard to go any further back. So Noah will have to be eliminated for now to keep the project going.

Wha?????

NO FAIR!

Wha?????

NO FAIR!

I know Gene, but Noah is a spoiler for this exercise!

OK, The earliest woodworker was Adam. After they ate the apple, he cut a leaf off the tree and covered their nudity with his first project. Nuff said

A leaf is not wood Ron, strike!

A leaf is not wood Ron, strike!

I'll not rise to that bait.

I'll not rise to that bait.

Aw common Gene, you know want too! You know how to keep it clean, go ahead!

Ok John.......so who is our earth's oldest woodworker?

Heck ya got me!

Well.....you started this topic John so you better come up with an answer. ;-)

Oh no you don't! You can't throw this back on me! Just because I started it?

Hey Larry, I asked you guys, I did not say I had the answer!

Well if you believe in creation, then it has to be God since he created the trees on the third day!

And then there was shade and it was good.

Mother nature .... He's a she....

 

Other that that....

Archaeologists in Germany found the 7,000

year old wooden water wells near Leipzeg. 

5206 and 5098 BC

 

I would think the Chinese would be the one to look at...

 

Egyptian drawings going back to 2000 B.C. depict

wood furnishings such as beds, chairs, stools, tables,

beds, and chests

 

The earliest examples of veneering are over 5,000

years old, found in the tomb of Semerkhet.

 

The Hebrew Bible paints a different picture of the Israelite

woodworkers during the time of Solomon. As written in

Chapter 5 of 1 Kings, Solomon had to import Phoenician

artisans from the coastal city of Tyre to build his temple.

 

The Phoenicians were skilled in intricate woodworking

such as making furniture and inlaying them with ivory

carvings, but as the years passed, the Israelite’s woodworking

skills improved. In Isaiah 44:13, the prophet describes the

carpenter and his tools, suggesting that during the era of the kings.

 

1.5-million-year-old stone tools belonging to Homo erectus 

sport telltale traces of acacia wood.

 

Ancient Kauri from New Zealand is the oldest workable wood

in the world. Tsunamis leveled the mighty Kauri thousands

of years ago and they have been preserved underground

in the top half of the North Island of New Zealand for more

than 45,000 years.

 

Oldest I can find on the net is....

Chinese carpenter Lu Ban.

 

 

I think John "nailed" it. Creation took a lot of carpentry, masondary, sod, mud, mountains and lots and lots of wood trees.

Who is to say that Adam is not the first woodworker. They did farm and must have had some kind of shelter which even with leaves will require a wooden understructure. Now what is the verdict?
