Rob recently had a little shopping spree at Exotic Woods (exotic-woods.com) in Burlington, Ontario. Among his purchases were some triple A Birdseye maple. In this clip he takes if from rough to finished to show the great figure in this gorgeous wood!

*Correction* The larger diameter log is in fact Verawood, and the taller one behind it is the Claro/English Walnut.

That's nice. I have a piece of AAAA Bordseye from floor of shoe factory built in 1923. But it's just normal big enough to do much with it.

Beautiful stuff rob!! I saw that you were in Knoxville. I was going to stop by and say hey, but I was actually having car trouble. Maybe next time!!

That's some gorgeous BEM. I have a dw collectors series drym set that has an ebony stained birdseye maple finish. It's absolutely stunning and I don't feel worthy to play it. I only really use it for recording sessions, and use the laminate wrapped (Ultra White Oyster) dw kit for live performances.

Wow! Thank You Rob for sharing your excitement. Now I'm just waiting to see what you make with this beautiful wood.

When planning you went at an angle. In other videos I've seen they have sanded at an angle. Can you tell me what the advantage of doing that way is? Nice video and beautiful wood.

@tylersmith9868 2 жыл бұрын

No idea why you'd sand at an angle but with a planer the idea is to achieve a skewer cut across which reduces the chance for tearout

Rob, I was always told it is bad practice to lay a hand plane face down on the bench like that, regardless the hardness. Place on the SIDE when not in use!
