I think I was using oak in that video. I have used many other woods, some are much better than others because of strength or splintering problems. Poplar(aspen) and ash tend to be poorer as finsihed products. Oak and mahogany are nice because of the tighter grain. Exotic grains like fruit trees might be nice too but the knots in small pieces like the handle might break.

The wood shavings on the handle technique is called burnishing. It is actually one step beyond the last sanding grit. Kind of like rubbing your hands together til they "burn"ish. It just makes everything polished and much smoother than sandpaper. Thanks for watching.

Why do you hold the wood shavings on the handle? Oh great video by the way.

Sure, that's what all my videos are meant for - learning. My account is a director account which means it is linked to my webpage. But the link is doityourselfvideostoredotcom. Check on the Construction page. |
