This is amazing. And the fact that they just use fallen trees, makes it even better. I'm definitely gonna have to get with them once I'm finally settled on a new house.

Matt, Amazing feature on another local business. I buy from Jake and he is awesome to partner with. Thanks for brining this element of the woodworking business to our attention! Keep the videos coming.

@carolwingert64 2 года назад

Was I the only one drooling over all those beautiful slabs of wood? Also much respect on how you obtain your product.

@scottbitz5222 2 года назад

It was great to hear he uses upcycled wood that'd regularly be discarded or chopped into firewood! I'm really fortunate that one of the largest Arborist companies in SE Wisconsin does a really similar thing by taking hardwood (and even some nicer pine boards from taking down old barns, houses, etc) that they cut down themselves and milling S2S slabs and boards. I was able to make a dozen Cutting Boards and Charcuterie boards off of $125 worth of hardwood boards that likely would have cost me more if they weren't upcycled! This specific company does have a managed forest they collect wood from for other things, but the store I use is all upcycled wood and the other stuff is more for large hardwood dealers.

Whar a great business! I booked marked Ole Loggin. Don't know if I will be buying anything, but I like the guy and what he is doing. If I was young again, and living in a an area with a lot of trees and storm damage, I would try to start a business like that. The problem for me was always money. I never had any money to start up.

@The_Conqueeftador 2 года назад

I always wondered what would be wrong with a giant microwave set up with the temperature on low. Alot of woodturners microwaven green wood all the time and it comes out ready to use. Is it some old habits die hard type of thing that people still rely on kilns or is it really the only way?

@necrojoe 2 года назад

I've had such bad luck with quick kiln-dried wood having built-up tension (case hardening). Does the vacuum aspect reduce those problems?

@paulgrenier2279 2 года назад

It sure does! Vacuum pulls the moisture from the core through the whole drying process, making it super even and prevents the case hardening you have experienced from other fast drying.

@darrinlindsey 2 года назад

How many slabs did you take home with you?

@731Woodworks 2 года назад

lol none. I sure wanted some of them. I took some charcuterie kits he sells and some epoxy. I didn't have room in the shop to store the slabs lol

@jimh472 2 года назад

So the elephant in the room question: What are the price differences between the 3 different drying methods? All with the same size material and wood species. Air dry Standard Kiln dry I Dry

@paulgrenier2279 2 года назад

You did hear the part about 1 year ROI on a 90k kiln right? Air drying is $0 investment and a $0 dollar return on investment for 3 years. You still won’t have heat treated wood and a bug could crawl out of right after you build something with it.

@chrisernst68 2 года назад

I dont know anything about this company but they are advertising slabs as being much more board feet than they actually are. One slab is labeled as 24 bf but is 24"x48"x2". Which is actually 16 by. That's a huge discrepancy and is not the only one.

@ollogginsawmill5849 2 года назад

That’s because it was milled at 3” thick and then surfaced flat on both sides to 2”. You’re paying for the milled product. It’s like buying a 2x4 at a box store but when you measure it it’s really 1.5”x3.5” finished. Hope this makes sense and apologize for the confusion.

@nelson7940 2 года назад

Must be nice to have money.

@chrismunsterman1168 2 года назад

Great I Dry commercial . My experience with drying 2600 bf of Claro Walnut was nothing like the advertisement at all . After 3 months the walnut slabs, the ones that were dry had honeycomb all through out the slabs . The ones that didn't had water pockets . I paid 5500 dollars to have 2600 board foot of walnut ruined so I have little faith in 3 weeks green to dry as claimed!! Its total BS . We all live and learn and my lesson was there might be a faster way to dry material but beware .

@paulgrenier2279 2 года назад

Hey Chris, Paul from iDRY. Claro walnut is arguably the hardest species to dry. The vast majority of other species dry amazing in our kilns. Claro Walnut no so much. When customers call me and say that they want to dry Claro Walnut, I let them know they are better or air drying, or possibly using a DH.
