Very few videos explain it like this. This is a great video!

For those of you who may struggle to buy these timbers (the UK market is rather limited in certain timbers) speak to tree surgeons. They usually have loads of wood at their yard that they want rid of, you may just be surprised.

Using 1-inch strips is better when stacking, than playing Jenga with your boards, because you only have 1-inch of wood touching and not a 10-inch x 10-inch section of board.

Thank u 4 answering questions i haven't thot to ask yet!!

[@matthewbittenbender9191]

I have a target in my back yard with poplar boards. It dries out faster outdoors and cracks easily when hit. I'll have to try cottonwood, but uncured spruce is a soft wood tho some say too soft.

[@BronkBuilt]

What about if I'm going to build a board for my backyard use? Same advice on type of wood? I would be keeping it outside. My original thoughts was treated construction lumber.

[@stevenmontoya1018]

I am also curious about this, you are not alone man

[@danielvazquez1202]

What do you think about 4x6 end of grain cut wood ?

[@goldriderlc]

Good to know

Hey Mold can be stopped in some clever and inexpensive ways. Keep a sprayer with some of the product “wet and forget”. It is a fungicide and is designed to be applied to a surface and left. It will take care of the mold. Should you choose to be even more intrepid, you can find commercial benzalkonium chloride and dilute it to like .5%. You can just do that in a sprayer. Now, this is the same chemical that’s in the foaming hand sanitizer at hospitals etc so it’s not gonna hurt ya. Just don’t be stupid, wear a respirator and gloves and eye pro!

Is oak good to use for target

[@ineedmoney299]

How good would one by ten common wood work?

[@rmarli17]

Anyone know a good solution to increase longevity and absorption?

[@chico25101]

I live in Woodstock ON do you know where i can get Poplar boards?

[@nickford5549]

End grain all day

[@thetruthserum2816]

,,,just realizing that those involved in "wood sports" should likely plant trees every year too... 🌲🌳 Cottonwood and poplar grow fast! What about 1/4 sawn logs!

[@jasonroy1890]

When I googled what wood is best I found multiple sources saying pine and spruce are best, so wth? 🤷‍♂️

[@gregoryallen9618]

Does the WATL work with end grain woods?

[@worldaxethrowingleague]

We certainly do!
