The Straightedge: Turning Urban Lumber (Part 2)

Every day, in urban areas, trees are cut down for various reasons. These trees are a veritable treasure trove of lumber that can be reclaimed, as opposed to finding its way to the junk yard or fireplace. As well, many of the species of wood growing locally in your area may be otherwise unavailable from lumber suppliers. This episode covers the steps required to reclaim such wood for turning.

And if you like, melt some paraffin (candle wax) and dip the green wood to seal it nicely :)

I love this video and I agree to every word said!
