Skyler I have canary wood in the shop right now that looks exactly like that piece you have, I love that wood as the variation in color changes from bright orange to a subtle yellow in the same board!
I second that, John. I have some in my shop too
I never tire of looking at wood. You got a nice selection,
Thanks 👍
The 2 beautiful pieces you can't identify look to be Cocobolo. It has beautiful grain and is very workable. I love it and save it for special projects that I want to show off...
My guess: yellow pine. But, I know absolutely nothing about wood. 😅 That's why I'm here...to learn about wood. Great video! Thank you!
I love that you do this on your channel. It’s great to learn about new sources for project wood. You always bring great information and techniques to your channel. Thanks for sharing this.
My pleasure! Thank you
Thanks for introducing us to this new supplier. I have decent supply of 3/4-inch exotic hardwoods, but now I’m wanting to check out this new source. 👀
You are very welcome
I love ocooch hardwoods. I buy from them all the time
Thanks for the suppliers info.
You got a nice selection of wood in that box! Always nice to have another source for thin wood and they sent you all nice pieces!
For sure!
Smart lady…and beautiful too! 😊❤️😊
😊 thank you
Fantastic was thinking about getting that will for sure now
I really like the sample pack. I have plenty of books on wood identification but sometimes the photos vary. Good score. Cheers
Same here. Can never tell from a photo
I bought some Black Limba today it is gorgeous. Had not heard of it until this video.
I love black limba. I have a piece in my shop is 2 inches thick about 24 inches long 8 wide. Still trying to figure out a good project for it
Skyler, the purpleheart looks like it is man made! What fantastic wood.
Thanks 👍
I'm glad you tried the exotics 😊
They often have discount sales for their cutoffs, especially domestics
I ordered the domestic too. Didnt come yet, but was only $16
Beautiful off cuts,. Nice presentation. Appreciate that you are independent, neither bought nor sold. Your free voice. God bless.
Thank you kindly!
Score! great selection in the 10lb box
Thank you. I was very happy with it
That is some beautiful wood. You should drill a hole in each of the samples and mount them on plywood so you can see all of them side by side.
Great idea
Really nice looking wood !!
Yes, I already placed an other order
Thank you for another interesting video, some lovely pieces of wood there, although difficult to tell, I think the mystery piece maybe piranha pine. Often used in staircases here in the UK.
That's a really nice selection, decent size peices and very reasonable cost too. Wish I could find similar suppliers in the UK. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Those labeled samples are if great value in advancing learning and experience. Thanks.
Very true!
Thanks for sharing! That’s a lot better than the last two boxes. May have cost more, but much more usable. Look forward to seeing the butterfly!
I totally agree! Thanks.
Nice to keep following your journey Skyler...Pete
Hi Pete! Thanks 👍
I love when I get my veneers in.. every one is different..
The piece of wood you can't identify is definitely Canarywood, it happens to be a favorite of mine.
For ten lbs of wood you can do so much with them. I have ordered two boxes of domestic from them, they were out of exotic at the time. Looking forward to seeing what you make with them.
I ordered some domestic too. Didnt come yet
Turns out they are a our 1 1/2 hour drive for me. I’ve never heard of them so I will be taking a drive on Friday (my day off) to check them out. Thanks.
Good luck!! Let me know how it goes
You did good.
I think the mystery wood is canary wood. I have some with great red streaks but it has quite a yellow tone with little grain in other areas.
I think so too. Thank you
Nice selection and sizes.
Thank you 😊
Amazing collection of nice wood offcuts. Here in my country all I would get for that amount of money would be a piece of beech…not sure that what you paid would cover the shipping for ten pound of wood in my country. 😄
perfect - talk toy ou soon~
You should make a display panel for your samples to hang on the wall. Looking forward to seeing the monarch butterfly inlay!
Thats a good idea. Thank you
Used Purple Heart once - never again. Nasty stuff. Does look cool and Woodworkers Source sells a bunch of it. Don't know anyone that like working with it though.
My wood shop uses a bit larger samples over the matching bin, raw wood and finished - so you may want to finish one half of your samples with your favorite finish.
Wenge, I've used it just wee bit over the years, amazing looking wood. Bocote, very nice looking wood, and oily, so easy to machine. Used it for custom grips many years ago, and stopped buying it (price?). Bloodwood; went through a bloodwood phase. Very hard, splinters easily, looks fantastic and smells great while working it. Sands to a glass smooth finish. I have a fondness for Ash, but have not used it for a spell. Birch is another good one. Back in Minnesota Aspen and Popular were good fireplace woods so I have a bias against them; but folks seem to like them. Canary Wood; never used it (has never fit in with my use case) but maybe I should. I'll be keen to hear what you think of it. Current kick is cherry.
Mahogany; Very open grained wood. I've finished with just lacquer sanding sealer and a brown stained grain filler which can really add some contrast.
Side bar; many years ago I got turned on to Daly's Benite Wood Conditioner. A preconditioner and it also hardens the wood and with mahogany gives it a very deep and rich colour. Expensive unless you can find a local shop that carries it as they are on the coast in Washington state. Highly recommended if you can find it.
Thats a great idea
Cool selection! I thought the mystery wood might be a kind of cedar. The grain pattern looks a bit like it.
How I wish we could get sample packs and offcuts packs here in the UK,.
My guess of the mystery wood is hickory
I used Purple Heart on our boat, both in and out on the deck.
I love the look of purple but dont love how hard is to sand
Love watching! I hadn’t thought of ordering off cuts online. You order from other places as well? If so can you share any links?
Please ensure you use dust collection and face masks when working with any of the purple, yellow hearts woods and canary wood. The damage they can quickly domtomyou lungs is severe. Also wash your hands after working with them, as some people have allergies to these types of wood.
Thank you for sharing. Great wood haul. Everyone stay safe, happy 😊 and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Will do. Thank you
10# box of wood mystery wood looks like ribbon wood
The problem with those kind of sample packs is the shipping. Drives the cost up to the point where you might as well just buy what you want locally, at least IMHO.
Hi there,
My educated guess is that your mystery wood is Canary... I enjoy your channel and keep the videos coming
Thank you. I like Canary wood then!
I believe your mystry piece is called Myrtle. And you explained why I call Padauk "Cheeto Wood".
:)
The mystery piece might be goncalo alves. It seems a bit light, but I've seen some lighter examples.
Thank you
I doubt that the dark piece(s) were walnut in an exotic bundle. But your SCORED on that bookmatch set!
Thank you. Whatever it it I LOVE it
it's similar to some pear wood I'm working with but I'm using much smaller pieces so it's hard to tell. .
Thank you
Are they mostly 1/2" stock?
The million-dollar question is where to sell ones' creations at a fair price. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for the video and the information. The link for the wood company doesn't work for me.
I think it's Canary wood
Thank you
On second thought....it looks like it's a bit chilly there....
:)
I couldn't find the "cut offs" section on their website
It’s under project ready wood in the very bottom of the list of woods
They call it domestic seconds and exotic seconds
Canary wood ?
Looks like that could be
The 2nd board looked like hickory or pecan to me…
Thank you
mystery wood = canary wood??
I think so.
Maybe Alder
Jeez....back to those button up shirts....
WOW!! Just found your channel recently, of course your breast was the main attraction. That being said, your innocence, truefullnest and honesty makes you a delightful source of information. I have being a wood worker for over 40 years and made most every you have shown so far. The only other couple of thing I do is turning on a wood lathe and making wooden toys for kids at Xmas, who other wise might not get anything. I watched your video on the Wahuda jointer and decided to purchase one myself. I don't use one that often, reason I don't already have one, but there are times of course. Did not know that brand existed. Anyway can you spell your name because I can't understand it and are you Germany by chance? I rather watch you on my TV, UTupe channel, less commercials and shorter ones. Oh and thanks for your explanation of how UTupe pays, I didn't know that. Am not good with a computer, so please excuse I don't have a pic.
