Can you presure wash all trees like that to debark them? Or just certain types? And tips or tricks? I think I will try it. Id appreciate anything you can tell me
Conifer? Just as the leaves of aspen trees are budding out, as sap if flowing heavy, produces the fastest time of high pressure water debarking of evergreen trees; this is also true of every species but the more thick and dense the bark (as with red oak) the tougher it is to work.
Yes, you can make something with green wood, but shrinkage will always occur, always. The barstools I show being created are one item not affected by future shrinkage. A mortise and tenon joint where there is a .030" amount of future shrinkage will quite surely break any glue bond and be wiggly wobbly joint, some places that is a problem, others, not so much.
1:26 you are saying April-May best time to fall trees. Aren't the trees full of moisture at that period? What about falling in the autumn? Greetings from Latvia.
Best time to harvest trees (when the deciduous trees are just leafing out) #1 you can pressure wash the bark off 10 times faster #2 highest grade of finished product #3 springtime = best time for drying with low humidity
@@Tenonizer Thanks. You have a wonderful channel, great videos, learning so much. A quick question about "water seasoning timber" to wash the sap out, so that the timber does not twist later. Any thoughts about that? Is it any good? I want to do that in the creak running through my property.
@@virtual07 We used to do that on Jack Pine & Red Pine, we quit the practice when we started using the bristle wheel buffing system and also storing/drying our material up in the roof structure of our metal roof barn. The heat and airflow kept it from molding and caused the wood to dry quickly.
Hello Mike, I just found your more recent You Tube videos, but have watched much of your old , Piece of the Woods videos from years ago. I live in Northern Michigan and build some custom wood pieces, experiment with different wood species. I have a lot of red pine like yours in this video. I plan to harvest some poles and will prepare it by pressure washing the bark. Thanks for the tips. I also have a question in general. After your wood is air dried, as I do in my pole barn, do you kiln dry to kill any bugs... powder post beetles? I will be using not only pine but maple and aspen, poplar. I was wondering what your experience has been with beetles in these poles or posts you use? Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks again ,Ed
Good to hear from you Ed, as for the bug question the same requirements for firewood entering state and Fed. parks could be applied to your question, I think that # is 168 degrees for 24 hours but I am playing from memory here... intercontinental wood pallets also received a list of do's and don'ts in 2002. If you keep the material with the bark on local, and do not ship it, you can not break any laws but might see a bug or two. In most cases debarked logs do not present a problem, except for when it is left with the bark on and outside to force "bugtracks in the wood" to be a thing. If you are working bark on product, the faster you can dry it down after cutting the better, like the kiln dried hickory log furniture you see so much of.
You’ve taught me every single thing I know about building with log/round wood!!
Thank you for your effort and kindness sir.
Enjoying the journey, it's nice to have company RJ...
THANK YOU! Sharing your knowledge is a gift.
So nice of you
Nice to see you making videos again. Love that TC 22 I purchased it works great. God bless
It has been a long road back to the camera, glad to be back, thanks Eric!
I love your videos still my go to if I get stuck, glad to see you again ☺️
Perfect is good enough😂 that has to be my all time favorite saying. Great video! Glad to have you back
Good to be back, thank you!
One of my favourite sayings along those lines is: "any better than that would be wrong!"
Love the music, great info!
Интересно и познавательно. Привет из России🤝
Yes, good, a learning adventure can be fun! Greetings from the USA👍

Can you build with the wood fresh cut and not dried out?

TENONIZER, log furniture, timber frame, & Life Thanks Mike, I appreciate your information. Will dry it all just to make sure.
