Every so often I see a green flame in my wood burning stove.?

wood contains water & charcoal (which is an alotrope of carbon).when carbon is burned it forms CO2 but if this action takes place in presence of moisture CO2 reacts with moisture(water) to give carbonic acid .thus green flames are seen due to evolution of vapours of carbonic acid..

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/zxv1W

Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

you might have wood that has a nail in it, green usually means copper is burning or it could be a release of gases from the wood,

Green would indicate copper.

Blue and yellow only make green for finger paints. For light, they make white.

Impurities in the fuel, prolly Metalic, like what was mentioned prior, copper would be a good guess but, it could be many things, not to worry !
