How do you sterilize wooden tools?

What kind of tools do you need for green woodworking?

What do you mean by green woodworking?
Green woodworking is an approach to woodworking that transforms unseasoned and unprocessed wood into finished products using only hand tools. Unseasoned wood (or green wood) is just wood that has been recently harvested, which therefore means that the wood has a high moisture content (since it hasn’t had time to dry out).
What’s the best way to work unseasoned wood?
Unseasoned wood can be worked with more easily, with less effort on the body and less deterioration on the hand tools involved. The secret is to work on wood while it’s still moist, as the more it dries, the harder it is to process it until it turns into nothing more than firewood.
