Episode 4: I Don’t Know Everything

05.20.2019 by shannon // 4 Comments

Feedback is Gold

On today's show I'm sharing some great feedback on the French Oak of Notre Dame, some thoughts on Ebony availability and regulation, and finally the cycle of tree blights like Thousand Canker and Emerald Ash Borer.  Plus I get a tiny bit editorial about CITES and the upcoming Convention Votes.

Big Thanks to My New Patro​​ns

Alan, Perry, Aaron, Timothy, Jay, Bryan, James, Thom, Colin, and Gary

Thanks for your support!

Feedback

  • Mark wrote in with first hand perspective on the availability of European Oak as it relates to rebuilding Notre Dame.
  • Chris sent in a voicemail as a lumber yard employee and fireman about Notre Dame.
  • Tor shared an article about Visingso Island and lumber for the Swedish Royal Navy.

Industry News

  • CITES is set to vote on some new proposals regarding Ipe, Rosewood and Spanish Cedar.
  • Maryland has implemented quarantine zones for the movement of Walnut in hopes to control Thousand Canker disease.

Listener Questions

  • George says he can't find Ebony and wonders what's up.
  • Ken wonders if there is a cycle to tree blights like the Thousand Canker issue we are facing now.

    Shannon, as I’ve said before I’m loving that you are continuing the lumber industry update! Others can chime in but I am finding the audio levels quite low, especially on this episode. The theme song at the beginning is a normal level but then it drops when you start speaking. It’s to the point where I need to turn it up to about twice the level as other podcasts such as woodtalk and making it, and also to the point of being heart stoppingly loud when the podcast ends and something else starts playing or if I start the car again and another audio source is selected. Hopefully it’s something that’s easily fixed. Thanks again! -Jeremy

      I’ll look into it. I do some post production mixing and it sounds great on my laptop but I have heard that in a car it sounds bass heavy. Regardless I’m working on it. I don’t have Marc around to do my dirty work anymore. On WoodTalk Matt and I just got to show up in the green room with our fresh flowers and expensive artesian waters and Jordan almonds. Now I have to do the donkey work too. Thanks for the input
