That ending. So silly and adorable.

I love his voice! 😍 could listen to it all day 😊

Great video. I've often thought about using my dehydrator that I use to make beef jerky for drying small pieces of wood, but this seems a lot faster! Love everything you post!

Thank you for making my day better with this awesome video.

Wow! Wood grain so pretty. Love the goose pendants. Ending made me chuckle.

The ending is too cute. "Im yew!"

the trunk at 1:17 looks like Chewbacca

It's not necessary to make figurative objects. If you have pieces of beautiful wood, cut it into blocks or slabs or rounds, sand it down to a smooth surface to show the grain vividly, and finish lightly without changing the color insofar as possible. Or perhaps, leave unfinished yet smooth to the touch. I don't need a goose pendant (neither does anyone) but a heavy little block or slab, beautifully smooth and slightly fragrant, with clean square faces, is very attractive and admirable on its own. Just the wood itself, is magical.

What a terrible pun at the end - love it!

Tell that young couple not to burn that Yew because woodturners will pay for it. They can find a local chapter of the Irish Woodturners Guild on the IWG website and contact the secretary. Even an ad in a free-ads will get a response. If I was closer and didn't have lots of Yew I would drive to get some so they might get a good response. Best Wishes, Brendan.

Hi to you both, when I saw the tutorial for gift wrapping up a horse for Christmas I thought I should ask you. but I didn't know how to, after today's video however, I am asking you, if you ever watched the "goons" floating Dartmouth prison over the channel for a trip to France for the prisoners? Because you see it's the same sense of humour, and it's astonishingly good to find twice in my lifetime...a healthy laugh ! thank you so much, take care because we care ...........

Another method for drying wood and products without the formation of cracks. For him, using silica gel, is any moisture from the desiccant things including wood. Silica gel for cats take in stores, He comes in bags for cat. He'll use for drying hardwood. Take 1/3 of silica gel-sorbent from the weight of the tree, covered it with a wooden product and close the jar tightly, to accelerate the drying process is better to pump air and make vacuum. Subject jar tree in vacuum and silica gel (or without) a few days or week. If the tree is much wet, the silica gel which has absorbed water (become white) pour and add as much again, and just leave the silica gel to absorb moisture wood. at This method, wood is not impregnated with salt and keeps clean without salt structure, which may sometimes protrude from the tree over time. So go ahead dry the product with the help of silica gel. Restore silica gel- roasting or put in a microwave oven for 5 minutes, and It can be used again.

I would love a piece of this to work with but no idea where to get it here in manchester

To work in wood (a bowl, a spoon or a statuette) and mode to another raw tree when the product is ready, it can give a crack, to crack it was never that place Wooden finished product in highly salted water and cook for about 1 to 4 hours. Basically hour missing. Thereafter, winding articles with old newspapers leaving for absorption of moisture from wood, changing every day at about 1 week. After this tree will never crack. Salt kicks inside the water and dries the fast wood, protecting it from cracking. The paradox, but it works and is used. Can not treated with a piece of wood to boil in salted water and then cut after drying newspapers or paper or cloth.

there's a thing called a moisture meter for just this sort of job. Google search? If you take out half the weight of your timber then you know that it contained 50% water in the beginning (at least), because that's the only thing you're removing.

Nice scientific video, Tim. So pleased it was allowed ! Will at least a portion of that yew tree be cut into 7ft lengths for future bow staves? I have heard of microwave evaporation methods before. I will try it here, in our West. Why did Sandra not request the microwave be placed outside on the porch? rc

WayOutWest Blowinblog They are OK for warming food items, now and then. Long ago I learned how badly they can destroy a chunk of meat! lol I do know dedicated vegans who would not ever use one. They claim uncertainty at what the radar range may actually do to the nutritional value of food, having the cellular elements excited in such a fashion. They didn't even get to the point of possible escaping radio waves. Me? I dunno. Slow cooking is probably superior, if at all ??? rc

Whatever next! Always something interesting from youtwo! You do know how deadly toxic yew is, do yew? And you cleaned out the microwave meticulously? My son who is a bowyer, proclaimed yew's superlative qualities for bow-making. It is apparently very strong but elastic. Although if the grain "goes all over the place," that is hard to figure. But worth investigating?
