#wood

The world's largest producer of #wood #pellets (at the expense of the forests of the US South-East), #Enviva, is no longer seen as a good investment on financial markets these days it seems: their stock has lost 88% over a year.
That's some good news.

@wedge @brianschwarz @davepolaschek @jamigibbs How many clamps do a carpenter need? Correct answer: As many as you can get. A carpenter told me this years ago. Norwegian kroner is very weak at the moment. Good for tourism, and people with euros. Usually we multiply with ten and then measure the ups or downs by eye. Had to move over to the workshop to prove my point. Everything from Biltema. Pipe clamps looks promising.

#ThickTrunkTuesday
The old and lonely one. Some hundred years ago there was a farm here. This pollarding tree, which have given up, is the only one left that can tell.
#Pollarding #Elm #Wood #Tree

A huge mossy tree trunk leans over and appears to fall to the right. All the branches further up the trunk are sawn off. It leans inward towards a dense deciduous forest. To the left there are two slender tree trunks disappearing high up in the open air. Sunbeams light up here and there in the green foliage closer to the ground.

My old classic band saw (Brandbu band saw factory), now in my countryside workshop, came back to life today. After a winter mostly alone in the woodshed – lately some abuse by me, and then taking revenge breaking the bandsaw blade. Got a much needed overhaul, tested and working fine, with new spare blade…
#Woodturning #Bandsaw #Wood #Woodworking

An old green band saw in a shed seen from above. In the middle of the photo is the adjustments and the blade coming down. You look down on the table where there up front on the left is a just cut out bowl blank. This still with the outer part of the piece surrounding it, pushed partly up to show the result. Some pieces from previous sawing on the right part of the table. A pair of solid winter (protective while working with the bandsaw) gloves is nearest to the table. To the left you look down on a concrete floor, through a doorway you look out onto a green meadow.

Are you Contributing to the #Climate Crisis by burning wood?

Wood heating is “the least climate-friendly option to heat a house.”

For the same amount of energy, burning #wood emits more #CO2 than #coal

Wood burning is a significant source of climate pollutants & contributes to global warming.

Burning wood is adding more CO2 to the atmosphere - when we need less.

I may or may not have accidentally ran over our Coleman camping table and so I did what any self respecting woodworker would do.

I scavenged the hardware and made replacement slats. (Somehow the base remained unscathed)

It looks great.

#woodturning #Woodworking #Ulmus #elm #bowl #lathe #wood #woodturner

A wooden bowl is lying on a table with the inside facing a window. Through the window we look down on a road far down in the landscape out there. We see close up the entire outside of the bowl from the narrow bottom at the chuck mount in front and upwards towards the wide edge. The bowl is 24 cm wide at the top and 14 cm high. There is a slight curve going from the top to the foot. It is about 5 cm. From this side we see mostly swirling patterns of brown and yellow stripes from the growthrings – swirling around a little «black spot» from a twig, most of them swings upwards towards the rim of the bowl.

Picked the Most Troubled part of the Trunk (previous posts) for turning wet today. Had spotted a bark Intrusion, branches going inside etc. Knew it would be unpleasent to turn, but difficult to tell how beforehand. This time it was indeed, as these photos testifies. However, I knew also; would be an interesting, exciting wooden bowl in the end. More on this in the captions. Put away with shavings in a paper bag now.
#woodturning #Woodworking #Ulmus #elm #bowl #lathe #wood #woodturner

3 The inside has now been fully revealed. Fortunately, only what was visible on the outside from the start is the only thing left of the bark intrusion on the inside. It is shaped like a crooked smile with a closed mouth. The large twig is visible just above to the right as a large eye. On the left side a little further up is a black remnant of a smaller twig. The pattern in the wood is in violent dark brown to yellow waves and circles.

1 Work on turning out a wooden bowl has started. We look into the bowl sitting in the lathe with support from a rotating center in the back dock, partially hidden by shavings. From the edge, it is finished about halfway in. What has become apparent is a seriously large bark intrusion that goes over almost the entire inside of what will become a bowl. It was visible in one place on the outside when it was finished turning, and here it was secured with superglue. In addition to this problem, which dulls the tool quickly and gives strong impact resistance when the iron hits, another problem is also visible now. There is heartwood in a large twig that has come out of the trunk. It also slams noticeably when it meets the gauge.

4 The bowl is no longer in the lathe, but lying on a table with the inside facing a window. We see the entire outside of the bowl from the narrow bottom at the chuck mount and upwards towards the wide edge. The bowl is 24 cm wide at the top and 14 cm high. The foot will be about 5 cm. From this side we see both the large twig down to the right, and the bark intrusion higher up on the left. Swirling patterns all over.

2 The bowl is now without support from the rear dock, the work has come further into the bowl. We can follow the scar with bark intrusion from a peak in the middle of the bowl which steps down towards where the wall is now finished further in. A strong and wild pattern in the dark heartwood, with its clear annual rings, now emerges where the bowl wall is finished.

Something for the weekend
A colorful experiment. Large wood-turned bowl in birch with spirit staines colors on the outside.
#woodturning #bowl #forest #trees #woodart #woodworking #artisan #art #craft #handcrafted #wood #Weekend

This birch bowl is close to 40 cm in diameter. You see the bowl close up from the side with some of the inside visible at the top of the picture. The inside of the bowl is treated with food-safe beeswax oil and thus has its natural variations from the wood visible, with a dark part near the edge where the marrow of the log lies. The outside of the bowl, on the other hand, is in strong colours. The edge at the top is strong red. Downward comes five so-called beads, a cm each, in a strong yellow color with black scorched gutters between them. Further down to the bottom, the bowl is strongly blue. The light and pattern in the wood, which shines through, create great variations in the blue shading

Springtime Logs – into Blanks
No Elm Disease around at this place…

The picture was taken during a session with a chainsaw on a rootstock. You are looking down at a partially split trunk from an elm tree. The safety helmet with hearing protection is seen in the background and the chainsaw barely sticks into the picture at the bottom right. Snow is still on the ground in the background and under the sawdust that has just been produced. In the foreground four finished split blanks sits on the ground where the snow has recently melted. The sun shines on the area. The endwood of the elm stock, which you can clearly see twice in the picture, has a clear and large field with dark heartwood and a smaller light field of light outer wood towards the bark. The log is first split into round blocks as long as the diameter of the log and then sawn lengthwise into two parts.

"We didn't create the wood transistor with any specific application in mind. We did it because we could. This is basic research, showing that it's possible, and we hope it will inspire further research that can lead to applications in the future," says Isak Engquist.

It was really neat hearing the wood and then seeing the interplay between player and MIDI solenoid magik! John Roach offered consistently interesting sonic performances and interventions while Thessia Machado dazzled with droning autobows and flappers.

Worked on a new #pyrography project today, having not finished the last 15 I’ve started. One day in a few months they’ll all get finished at the same time. That’s how it usually goes. Freehand on ash, a reclaimed off-cut from a furniture maker. The smell is lovely.

Closeup of a plank of ash wood. On it is freehand doodling, burned with a pyrography pen. It is intricate, lots of leaves and swirls and squiggly lines jumbled together, like plants coming up from the ground. That’s what I like to think anyway.
