Honor the material

Wood is a versatile material. You can build almost anything out of it. But you shouldn't. Wood is great for some things (big, flat surfaces like a tabletop) and poor at others (weight-bearing structures like legs). Steel, however, is great for structure due to its strength, but it makes for a poor tabletop.

Every material is good at something and poor at something else.

To honor a material is to celebrate its unique properties and use its strengths.
