I can only view this and speak as an end-user consumer. I'm not a woodworker of any sort. But, watching all these informative videos will give me a deeper appreciation for figured woods when I see them, as I purchase guitars, etc. It's sad to see that so much beautiful woods get lost in producing usable, structurally sound products. But as you said, and shown, it's simply unavoidable. Seeing how it's made, its rarity, even manufacturing flaws or mishaps, it will make people appreciate the cost it demands. Thank you!

It is truly great to have someone that is in the tree business to explain all these variations of problems and there causes for us to know what to look for as a consumer of your products!! Thank you sir for taking the time to do this because I learned alot!!

I started doing this because I noticed cutters and suppliers so far haven't done a great job at explaining this stuff to everyone else. Thanks

Brilliant. As a bowmaker I'm very aware of defects, but those in pernambuco and snakewood are often different than those you describe. But worms and knots are similar. Thank you from sunny Vienna, Scott

Yes many times figured wood is very disappointing. Supplies like us are compelled to show the wins on social media ect but that’s just a fraction compared to the rest that’s less than amazing

Wow that's done gorgeous wood. Even with the defects, but I'm not looking at anything in a structural sense. I understand the reasoning behind the defects being a problem in a structural setting. The only wood working i do anymore other than building buildingsb is on a lathe. Which is when nots, inclusions, and other defects are a bonus

On the defective hard woods you shown do you still sell it to wood turners? Being 100% disabled vet I now teach other vets to turn and we would love to have some of that wood for sure.

Does anyone know what's going on when the grain gets really fat and wide, and will develop these repetitive cracks or checks in an unusual direction? I've seen different kinds of woods do this. Sapele. Fir. Happens in otherwise straight grain. If you cut near that area it will pinch really bad.

microwave-vacuum kiln might be a solution to some of the cracks in sap+heartwood boards? so sad these quilted maples don't grow here in europe, we do have a planted stand at an arboretum, probably one of the largest collections of n american trees in europe, the arboretum of tervuren..

It wouldn’t help at least not on the highly figured Quilted maple. It’s by far the most complicated maple to dry safely without stain or splits

To me, the worst maple defect of all is spalting. (a corruption of the word "spoiled"). The old timers knew what they were talking about when they called moldy, rotting maple spoiled.
