The £700 Wood Pile: My Laburnum Processing Journey

The £700 Wood Pile: My Laburnum Processing Journey

In this video, I showcase how I rescued a pile of laburnum wood destined for the landfill and transformed it into valuable material for future woodturning projects. Join me as I walk you through the step-by-step process of processing, sealing, and preparing the wood to ensure it dries slowly and properly.

What you'll see:

Assessing the Wood Pile: Understanding the potential in discarded wood.
Processing the Wood: Techniques for cutting and shaping.
Sealing for Preservation: How to seal wood to prevent cracking and warping.
Storage Tips: Best practices for storing wood as it dries.
Future Projects Inspiration: Ideas on what beautiful things can be crafted from laburnum wood.

By salvaging this wood, not only am I saving money (potentially making £700 from it), but I'm also contributing to sustainable practices by reducing waste. Whether you're a seasoned woodturner or just starting out, this video will provide valuable insights into making the most out of reclaimed wood.
