Excellent video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and techniques

Fabulous video, Peter, and very thorough. Thanks to you and Daniel for taking the time to make these available and for sharing your knowledge. I’ve learned a lot.

Thank you for showing the over the shoulder shot demonstrating getting the billet face to a single growth ring. It helped me so much to understand and see what you’re looking for.

It's a genuine pleasure to watch and listen as you go about your work Mr. Follansbee. Thank you

Wow. I just found this after reading "Basket Moon" to my children. Thank you for this video.

Thank you, very comprehensive demonstration :)

Thanks again for another great video. And this is personal taste, but much thanks for not adding the formulaic guitar that accompanies so many other woodcraft videos. The birds and cars in the background were just fine.

Larry - I usually hate the music that goes with videos. I don't have music playing in the shop, so don't see the place of it in these applications.

This video reinforces what I learned at the Greenwood Fest from Curtis Buchanan and Peter Galbert as well as from your demonstration at the chairmaking class May 2019. I am grateful that you are sharing these techniques. Thank you so much.

wow, learning so much here, many thanks Peter!

I love when you show the layers of grain and how they move as you get down to the same growth ring on the face. I wish I had grain like that for making furniture. Maybe time for me to build a shave horse.

Peter is a master of his trade .

You're amazing & thanks

Thank you so much for sharing sir!!

Great video Peter! Have you ever pounded or heard of people pounding sassafras? I’ve seen it mentioned in basketry articles before but no specific info was given.

great video, I had to subscribe. The one thing i have been considering is that has anyone ever mechanized the pounding process? Just looking into utilizing trees on my property and since I don't have ash or oak I have to get creative, but wondering what innovations have been used for the pounding process.

yup. eric taylor basketry. I have a video that shows how to do it easier. Very frustrating watching people pound by hand.

Thank you for another excellent video Mr. Follansbee. You mention that the wood should be as green as possible. Is there a time of year you find best for harvesting? As you seem to want water, Spring might make sense but I often find wood a bit brittle in Spring. Thank you again.

Sorry, I missed the comments here when they were posted. I'll use a log anytime it's harvested. I haven't seen problems associated with the time of year it's felled. Summer time, ash logs degrade more quickly than winter. but that's it.
