As a son of a carpenter in the Philippines, I have seen lots of wood…rosewood/nara and ebony/ironwood are my favorite😊, however, it is getting harder and harder to get a hand on these woods so we sorted to mahogany and we kept pieces of furniture made from these woods for ourselves😂…the family shifted to working with aluminum windows, cabinets and upholstery 😅

Interesting thing i found with yellow heart wood. It glows under a black light. I found this out when i was looking for the light switch in my shop and i had a black light in my pocket. I turned it on to find the switch and all of the sawdust from the yellow heart i cut the day before, lit up the shop under the black light.

I have a new found fascination with wood. Sign that I´m getting old. I've always found woods intersting though. As a child in Cuba, I grew up around mahoagny and cedro furniture. Caoba (Cuban mahogany) is one of my favorite woods, and cedro (Cuban cedar, cedrela odorata) has the most amazing smell. It will give your home a characteristic smell that I still remember from my grand parents' house.

Very nice video, it's amazing to see woodworkers that love wood like you guys, and Sai is probably a better woodworker than the average Joe (me included), looking at this video, you have to realize that trees are the most important species on the planet, tree provides so much when alive; generating oxygen from bad gases, providing shelter and shade and housing for animals, holding the ground from erosion, providing material for building houses, furniture and more, used for tools, hunting, weapons, source of heat for humanity to warm us and preparing food... the list is almost endless... Thank God for Trees!!!

I live in Bolivia, SA and we have Guayacaun, what you call Lignum Vitae (tree of life). It smells so good when you cut a little of it but after cutting it for a few days the smell starts to get to me. It makes beautiful furniture and doors but is mostly used in making small tourist items from what I have seen . I cut blanks for a couple hundred flutes one day but went through a few saw blades. My favorite though, is Tajibo (some call it Ipe). Most of the things I make are made from this. It isn't as dense as Lignum but it doesn't float either. My other favorite is called Roble, which translates to Oak but is a lot lighter and oily. It also has a pleasant smell when cutting.
@KingsFineWoodworking
@KingsFineWoodworking 5 лет назад
Hi Keni, that’s amazing. I wish we were able to directly import that wood from Bolivia. We love working with both Guayacaun, and Ipe! Thank you for sharing that info.

Hi Michael, some of those harder woods are brutal on blades and bits. We go through a lot of drill bits drilling the heads of our Thor’s Hammer Mallets. It really can add to the cost of a project.

Enjoyed seeing the better Si(de) of your videos... I know I'm to punny... Was wondering if you've considered the density of AMERICAN BLACK LOCUST WOOD I've dulled many a chainsaw and wore out a sledgehammer and splitting wedges trying make fence post out of them.
@chrisjordan4210
@chrisjordan4210 5 лет назад
James - really nice to see a visual demo of wood density, shows the differences. I have a fairly old woodworking manual that suggests a species called Brazil Wood is marginally denser than Lignum but I'm not sure what that is and suspect which piece of wood you test varies to the extent that the results are not entirely representative, so maybe it's not!

HI can you help me, I found some wood in a lorry park 2ft 10 long 3x3 , a heavy dark hard wood ,probably used as skid or may have been part of a packing case because it has a groove about 1 inch wide down the length , cut a piece off to turn , IT STINKS LIKE HECK !!!!!! that was about 6 months ago , it still sinks I probably won't be using it ,, but would like to know what it is , Regards Alf
