Wood Bending with Warped Wood
This week I catch up on some emails from listeners. We talk about purpose warped wood, the Green Wall, community based logging, shop made plywood, composite lumber, and (gasp) environmentalists and loggers working together...MASS HYSTERIA
Industry News
- Engineers use cross lamination and wood drying to predictably bend wood
- China and Africa are planting "Green Walls" to hold back the desert
- Washington state has a plan to thin forests to prevent fires (go figure)
- Macassar Ebony is being sustainably harvested using local communities
Feedback
- Tommasso suggests selling off your timber land
- Todd had a bad experience with thermally modified lumber
emails
- Brian wants to make shop made plywood
- Dale is looking for composite lumber that works like real wood
Thanks to My Patrons
Thanks for your support!
