Are there any other trees that would have good bark like that?
@gtrboy7710 күн бұрын
Wow, that is really neat to watch! Are there any alternative species of trees that you can harvest the bark in this way? I am surprised thar someone hasn’t come up with a machine similar to the machine veneer slicing process that can do this in order to cut down on the manual labor. Thanks for sharing, Peter!

Is there a season to harvest the bark? or could you do it at any time of the year?
@MrFollansbee10 күн бұрын
I've only ever done it during the spring/early summer. I've heard of people doing it, with difficulty, in winter. but why? When it's like peeling a banana in spring?

Is there any other suitable bark for this?

Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) will work the same way. See Drew Langsner's book Country Woodcraft Then & Now through Lost Art Press.

Elm works as well.
@ollyjackson873310 күн бұрын
@@wesmartin937 I was thinking about elm would be tough on draw knife mind. Had to clear loads in the uk from Dutch elm disease and to be "allowed" to use the timber the bark needs to be removed so would score with chainsaw and hammer it all off ridiculous really.

In the '70s qe had a huge (it took 3 1/2 teenagers to reach around the trunk) hardwood tree in the backyard that filled up with grackles and starlings at night. They were so loud that Dad would fire off a .410 just to make them find somewhere else.

Just starting to mill my own stock. Yesterday I started ripping through some small black walnut logs. Tiring yet very rewarding when completed! Thanks for the lessons in terminology.

Six chairs in a summer? Can't eat unless you can bang out six+ a week. See Clissett, Gimson, Neal, et al.

Very clear instruction and demonstration. I especially appreciate the explanation you made about pinching the chisel with your fingers before chopping. Little details like that make all the difference! I'm in the middle of making the JA chair and I'm missing her. She sent me a shaker furniture book years ago after I inquired about some of her favorite woodworking books. Who does that these days? Wood is wonderful! Thanks again for the videos sir.

Love it! Thanks for making videos and sharing the craft with everyone! Do you use a sliding dovetail plane for a joint like this or cut with saws and chisels? I’m a bit intimidated by hand-cut sliding dovetails despite being very comfortable with corner dovetails.
