Science of Dendrochronology Michael Cuba, Founder of Knobb Hill Joinery, will explore the science of dendrochronology (tree ring dating) and its use in dating and interpretating historic structures. While this science can offer conclusive felling dates for timbers used in building, interpretation and context for this information relies on both documentary and physical evidence and will underscore the importance of documentation in preservation work.
