Love this type of content that’s genuine and educational rather than the typical youtuber fluff that so many other channels use

[@ScottyDrake]

This video was particularly informative. I hope you're considering an episode on soft woods, as well.

[@luciusverusluciusverus3082]

Thanks for the excellent explanations 👍

Hi Good Morning.... I am glad to see you in a lot better health condition as compared to the first one I have watch you, with periods of breathlessness. Prayed that GOD will grant you continuous good health as you and MaCenna inspires so many like myself!

[@truckguy6666]

Great content as always!! Can't stress enough how valuable info like this is, coming from a career carpenter and not a made for TV personality! Never worked with hickory or cherry, might have to give it some thought....

[@heidiocain5526]

Thank You So Much Wes! I have really admired your clear, concise, and honest communication style in your videos; you make it so easy to hold several facts, then knit them all together to clearly make your point. Once again, you have made a great resource for info on all things woodshop. Thanks!

[@gregbloemke5312]

Great overview Wes! Thanks for helping.

Love this video. Describing the woods

[@johnchurchill786]

Great information Wes! A very enjoyable video thanks my friend. Hope you’re keeping well.👌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great information thanks Wes. For all my furniture I use either Tasmanian Oak or Victorian Ash here in Australia. Neither are Ash or Oak, they are just fancy names for gum trees. Straight grain, hard as nails and great to work with.

Would love to see more content like this. I never knew how to ask to find the "character" type woods or how any of the classifications worked. I also knew nothing about some of the wood types having the white striping. I thought you just had to rummage threw the lumber racks to find this

[@lisastephens9703]

My walls don't have many studs...could cut out dry wall and wedge wood for a shelf here and there or longer ones around stud. Talk about FURRY STRIPS to design wall and how to use as stud left/right extender for hanging my artwork...framed. since studs run vertical, I want to extend studs horizontal. Big livingroom wall. Help

Hi Wes, Thanks for posting all the great videos. I was wondering if you have ever worked with steamed wood, cherry in particular. If so, what are your thoughts-opinions of using wood that has been steamed. John

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Yes I have done finish on steamed wood. The only difference I found was that it required a little more attention to the sanding to guarantee a proper finish. Thanks for watching, Wes

[@dannyjohnston3043]

Great video Wes. I learned a great deal from it. Question: How would wormy maple be classified at your wholesaler?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Wormy maple is soft maple and is classified as wormy soft maple. Thanks for watching, Wes

Hello there! Just wondering about Oak... I am half way through painting a golden oak kitchen white... cleaned the cupboards, did the spackle filler, sanded, primed and now on certain cupboards some yellow is coming through the primer... any tips on what to do before I paint ? I am so paranoid about any yellowing at all. Should I sand and prime again? Or should I just start painting and do 2 coats? Will the yellow eventually come through the paint? Or does the primer absorb it? Sorry I am a complete beginner in the middle of a huge job...

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Sorry I didn't back to you sooner, but I was checking with a professional painter about your problem. This is his solution: Lightly sand your first coat of white paint, then apply a coat of clear shellac; lightly sand again and apply your second coat of white. He said shellac will stop all the bleed through of color. Hope this helps, Wes

[@MyName-zd9pe]

Also ask when you buy your lumber about the moisture content, you want around 9%. 😉

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thanks...great tip! Wes
