👍🏻, we’ve had a 6’ oak tree stump in our front yard, of which I wanted to cut a tall ✝️ in it. But with health issues, I got afraid to try. The top has been covered thru winters, but the cover wasn’t that great. So, after the arborist whom trimmed my tree to a tall stump, paid me a visit last month { now 5.9.24 ) , cracks have appeared, and weather has been crazy here in Louisiana. But till I can get that end grain sealer on, I believe I’ll need to fill in the cracks with wood filler. Then after that drying process, use end sealer, and possibly add some polyurethane sealer , but only on a no wind dry day. ❣️ 🌹Thanks for the Video

totally agree with all you say. I just use Titebond 1. It's a LOT cheaper than the fancy stuff made for sealing. 2 coats and I have had some walnut logs out in the rain several years and the glue stays on. And it has other uses (like you mention) , so I always have a gallon on hand.

toilet seals are a good way to seal the ends of the wood. cheap bulk wax basically. they used to be mostly beeswax. nowadays I believe there is a bit more petroleum but still a good way to go for large service sealing.

Not sure how KZbin knew to put this in my recommended, but I've been needing this advice. I cleared out a lot of trees when I moved to the mountains last year and was hoping to salvage some of the wood to build furniture. I had no idea how to keep the logs from splitting. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for your video! I don't like termites but I also love spalting my wood for the interesting patterns/characteristics it brings--so I usually leave it on the dirt/in the shade for several months before cutting it into blanks and moving it indoors (or into a bag). This keeps it "wet" which is easier to turn, imo, while also promoting spalting. Not everyone likes to turn like this though!

I have used about every method known to man such as epoxy, wood glue and wood dust, super glue, every type of filler such as glitter, stains, wood dust etc. that I could think of. I like a more “natural look” instead of artificial colors and wood shavings. I sometimes use colored super glue on “very fine” cracks. What I have gone to is a 50/50 mix of wood glue and very finely ground coffee grounds. It gives an enhanced more natural look to the crack. I use this on large to very large cracks. I clean out the crack, mix up my concoction and force it down into the crack using a sharp point and pressure. I let it set over night and on large cracks usually have to fill in again as it will shrink. If you have a crack that goes all the way though to the inside of the turning just use tape on the inside to create a dam. When re-turbing use a very sharp tool and go lightly. I have had very good results and comments from customers and it has a nice natural look.

It helps to cut logs down the middle or quarter them to relieve stress, wood blanks for gunstocks have the end grain sealed with melted paraffin wax. some wood carvers store the piece they are working on inside a zip-lock bag with the chips that came off the piece to slow down the drying process. rule of thumb for air drying is 1" thickness per year to be stable.
@thesweetone2 жыл бұрын
If you get into resin and such you can add color to the normally "garbage" wood with cracks, or possibly take up BBQ and use them for smoking dinner. I do both, so even my failures become positives. I use my chips as filler in potting soil or straight mulch. Waste not want not. Be safe.

If you don't mind, what do you mean by "rough turning"?
@boooshes2 жыл бұрын
that's taking a wood blank and turning it to a "rough" size that is thicker than the final piece is going to be. This allows you to allow the rough bowl to dry over a period of time, then turn it to it's final dimensions after it has dried.
@AshleyHarwood2 жыл бұрын
I have a video about rough turning on my chanel. You get the wood to a thicker version of the final form so that the wood can move as it dries. If it doesn't have room to move, that's when it cracks.
