I have never heard anyone get so much information out so quickly, so clearly. Mark, you did a fantastic job, I leaned a lot about the wood I've been buying. I learned a lot about box store wood in general. Thank you for your time.

A quick heads up about oak. If it's not nice and dry by the time you get it, be careful about which fasteners you use. The tannins in the oak will react with untreated metals like steel and could leave some ugly streaks down your project, especially if it's exposed to rain. Stainless or coated fasteners are usually preferred for oak. Slightly green oak will take the bluing right off a gun if you leave it sitting long enough.
If it's inside and well-seasoned, you don't really have to worry though.

I'm not likely to pop down to your store (i'm in UK) but definitely would . What a refreshing Youtube video.. cut to the chase, clear information and the why Questions are answered too... AND no music over dubbed to stifle the information. Great stuff, thanks

I was taught with yellow pine 50 years ago. 50 years later yellow pine has been, was and still is the backbone of our 75 year old millwork, high end cabinetry and furniture business. We've used all the hardwoods and softwoods but yellow pine is still the mainstay in our business., We're now into 5 generations of family management, my daughters, and they too were taught on yellow. pine. Every wood has it's place in woodworking, yellow pine just seems to be the wood that has given us good lives, paid for college educations, and kept a business working for 75 years, and seems to be the wood that will carry us into the 6th generation, our grand daughter. Thanks for the video, very informative especially for beginners.

A tip for staining beech without it looking patchy is to spray it on, then wipe it off. That's what we do to get a pretty good, even coverage for our pieces as we stain beech to be a few different browns and greys for our production furniture.

There ain’t no wood better than pine I’ve done many projects in my liftetime and without a doubt pine is the best. My grandpa built my house out of pine and it’s phenomenal he’s since passed but I thank him for it every day.

Great video Mark! Really helped me, a novice, to the point that I feel much more comfortable in deciding what wood to use for certain projects. Thanks for taking the time!

I will say I like this information style a lot. I knew about all of these woods, just not about their economical level. As an architect I’ve designed a lot with riftsawn white oak for custom furniture/built-ins for owners. I’ve only worked with it as a woodworker on one small project. It is a go to for me

Make more like this. I’d love to have easier sources to learn about other woods available in our area.

Topics you may include: (1) rough expectations on costs, (2) where the wood basically comes from, (3) environmental sustainability of the material, (4) things to consider when ordering a particular wood.

On (4) I’m getting at things like how much clear wood you could expect to get out of a board, as that could influence the size of piece you plan on making out of it.

Keep it up, and thank you

A couple of years ago, I made the switch from working with SPF lumber from the big box store to using, almost exclusively, knotty alder on my small furniture projects. And it has been the best decision I've made in my wood working. The finished product is so much better, and the price difference really was suprisingly not all that much different. It was definitely worth it. And now that I've gotten more experience and have gained more confidence in the craft, I have started working with more higher end woods from time to time; i.e. cherry, walnut, and maple. I'm still learning, but making the switch has definitely made the process much more enjoyable and rewarding.

Thanks for the great videos and information that you put out.

I have made quite a few items from pine and fir, you are so right about how wet they are. The up side was not ruining nice wood as I was learning. The down side is the warping, gaping and bowing after the project is finished and blaming one's self for the failure

I really get a lot of enjoyment out of these wood species videos. I like to think I know my stuff, but I still always learn something new from these. Keep these coming and I’ll keep watching.
