How to Collect Wood For Woodcarving

[@Scott-px9lw]

I wish I knew you were coming to Montana i would have loved to meet you and your wife. Maybe next time we can setup a class for local woodcarvers

Wow incredible find, interesting share, thank you

Very cool! In Alaska we have tons of fallen trees but we can also harvest wood in certain areas :) Great video, thanks.

Just back from my annual hunt. You gotta work pretty hard sometimes. 😊

Tree protection laws are very strict in the UK. Despite Lime/basswood being native here, it only seems to grow in parks and cities- from what I've heard, the easiest is to just bribe a tree surgeon with a packet of biscuits. Same is broadly true for ash, those things come down all the time now and they usually just throw the wood in the chipper.

And a worker is worthy of his meat.

You are very lucky I have to buy all the timber I use

I live in Chehalis Washington right between Seattle and Portland. We have an enormous amount of Black Cottonwoods in the valleys west of the Cascades...often times they are considered a nuisance and hazard as they grow fast and big coupled with eroding lowlands= the obvious. That being said, is black cottonwood the same as the bark you are harvesting in the video?

[@gentlebear2722]

Question? Do you sell and ship bark?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

@@gentlebear2722 I do not generally sell the bark!

[@gentlebear2722]

@@AlecLaCasseArt thank you.

After you find it, how do you store it-straight into your workshop or somewhere separate in the event there may be bugs traveling along? I’m always a bit hesitant. 😅

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I store it in a pole barn.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

And I move with the bed of my truck!

Halo saodarku saya sangat mengagumi karya karya anda ❤❤❤

[@pmcarrick]

Interesting, thanks for sharing! Do you ever carve the actual (non bark) wood?

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

@@pmcarrick I have before and it carves well!

[@jerrodbates8480]

I've scavenged every cottonwood in central Ohio! Not as good as the plains cottonwoods but got set me pretty good pieces.

That tree your harvesting is so old. Thats the problem, they are rare and hard to find. You got lucky on that one.
