Birdseye Maple, Beautiful AAA Grade

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Rob recently had a little shopping spree at Exotic Woods (exotic-woods.com) in Burlington, Ontario. Among his purchases were some triple A Birdseye maple. In this clip he takes if from rough to finished to show the great figure in this gorgeous wood!

    *Correction* The larger diameter log is in fact Verawood, and the taller one behind it is the Claro/English Walnut.

    That's some gorgeous BEM. I have a dw collectors series drym set that has an ebony stained birdseye maple finish. It's absolutely stunning and I don't feel worthy to play it. I only really use it for recording sessions, and use the laminate wrapped (Ultra White Oyster) dw kit for live performances.

    When planning you went at an angle. In other videos I've seen they have sanded at an angle. Can you tell me what the advantage of doing that way is? Nice video and beautiful wood.

    No idea why you'd sand at an angle but with a planer the idea is to achieve a skewer cut across which reduces the chance for tearout
