Well done! Nicely presented and a wealth of info for the beginner as well as the more "seasoned" among us (pun - ok). Your style is light hearted yet informative
in a manner where the viewer / listener doesn't feel like he / she is being preached to!
Keep up your videos and may all your cuts be clean!
Great video and I learned a great deal. You have a fantastic actress as a partner who reminded me of several encounters of this type. She has it down pat! Thank you for the video and the others also. I enjoy them very much and learn quite a bit each time.
Wow, you're very responsive. No wonder you have such a big following. Thanks for the reply. I'll check out the website. BTW, until I watched this video I never fully understood how to identify a riftsawn board. So thanks. Now I get it. ;o).
I love your videos. I always learn something, you speak in understandable English, there's always a laugh or two, and you aren't patronizing your viewership. Can all your videos be accessed through your website as well? Thanks a million from a woman woodworker.
@islandquilting Thanks for the kind words! Yes all of these videos and more can be found on our website. We also have helpful articles, project posts, shop tours, and an active woodworking forum, as well a live page where you can watch other woodworkers around the world do their thing in their own shops. Pretty cool stuff. You should stop by.
Marc, I live in Surprise and am just starting out woodworking - where is a good source for hardwood / sheet-goods for us Zonies? Love the site, greatly appreciate the videos and all the effort you put forth helping out the newbies!! Happy holidays!!
@CVinje2 Hey neighbor! I usually go to Spellman Hardwoods. Good prices and good quality. They have pretty much all the domestics and some exotics like mahogany. And happy holidays to you too!
@TheWoodWhisperer thanks so much for the reply! Good news to hear I don't have to go to Chandler for good lumber. Another question - does Spellman offer rough sawn (RGH, I think it's abbreviated to)?
@TheSenior53 I never posted those on YouTube for some reason. Honestly can't even remember why at this point. You can always check them out at my website though.
Definitely not a stupid question. The answer is yes. Its not really a functional board when oriented that way. But technically yes, that would be quartersawn.
Thanks. I've got a few pieces of flatsawn korina that I'm thinking of laminating that way around for use as a guitar neck. When you say it's not really functional, do you mean that the dimensions aren't really useful because it effectively becomes a 1" wide board?
Best buy is what is known as a centre board, from a through-sawn log. The centre-board is in effect 1/4 sawn but it's going to be wider than a board sawn from a quadrant shaped section of the log. (Which is how timber is 'sawn on the quarter'.) It's easier to talk about cubic feet. A board 12 feet x 12 inches x 1 inch thick is 144 cubic inches ( a cubic foot). Your board-feet system would drive me nuts!
i agree 100% nothing makes me more pissed than getting what looks like oak,cherry,walnut ect. off the side of the road only to see that it is particle board
I liked the explaination of quarter, rift and flat-sawn lumber and how the wood is expected to expand. Some great tips I really never knew about before...thank you!
You need a TV show!

Stupid question: IF I got a flatsawn board and turned it on it's side would that not make it quartersawn or close to it?

Yup. Of course there could be some unique circumstances where it would be very useful ( like guitar necks).
