121 - Lumber Industry Update: American Hornbeam

Today I am doing a video edition of the show. Not all the episodes in the future will necessarily be in video but I am hoping to do this more often, especially as I iron out some of the kinks in the tech. I'd love to hear feedback and how I can make the video edition better.
Today I discuss American Hornbeam, IBAMA strikes, brittle wood, fast growing trees, and a new source possibly for urban wood.

Walnut tier supporters get those stickers every month!

Enjoyed the video format! I’m not always multitasking while listening to podcasts so having something to watch is nice

[@alexdeburie5261]

Really like the video format - podcasts are OK, but having the video updates show up in my RUclips "new" videos makes it so much easier. Thanks.
(And great job on your approach - solid information, based on your personal and industry experience is awesome)

I like this format, I always like to see the people talking to me. Your shows are always informative if a bit on the technical side.

technical is my love language

[@timseroka8956]

Shannon, love the technical information and content of this broadcast!!!

Lie-Nielsen no longer uses Hornbeam for their chisels. They now use Hard Maple.

I've heard that from a few people. What a shame. So I guess my chisels are even more valuable now! There is still hope if you make your own handles.

As I understand it, they can’t get quality hornbeam in the quantity they need at the moment.

video format is better, i like the visual aids. Do you think picture this is superior to Leaf Snap as an identification app?

[@RenaissanceWW]

Haven’t tried it but I’ll look it up
