Shannon's Lumber Industry Update · 70 – Choosing Wood for a Workbench

Locally Sourced Exercise in Wood Diversity

On this episode Alex Adams joins me to talk about choosing wood for his upcoming workbench projects. He wants to incorporate as many locally sourced woods as he can in order to gain experience with many species that he could use in future furniture projects. We discuss the technical demands and the species in his neck of the woods and pair them together for a skill building FrankenBench!
