  • @bawrytr
    @bawrytr Рік тому +29

    One thing about sapwood to think about in a lot of species is that it is much more vulnerable to rot and insect attack. This is especially true with air-dried wood, where the bugs and any infections haven't been killed by the kiln process. In a climate controlled modern home, a little clean sapwood isn't likely to be a problem. But on a porch or deck or whatever, the sapwood is going to attract bugs, powder post beetle, that king of thing, and with significant humidity also any dormant or ambient fungus.

  • @pedullastudio

  • @qapla
    @qapla Рік тому +18

    I like the combination of sapwood and heartwood. However, at times, using only one or the other is appropriate for a project. Just because you cut the sapwood off doesn't mean you are going to throw it away - you may simply use it on a separate project. Likewise, there is the pith that may also have to be worked around ... would have been good to mention this in your video since you seemed to say all the wood in the center of the tree is stable and, while the actual sapwood is stable, pith is not.
    Still, really good video and thanks for telling people sapwood is good and useable.

  • @sgsax

    What I hear you saying is "the beauty and usefulness of sapwood is in the eye of the woodworker", which I think is a great take. It's all about the application and what you want out of the piece.

    I use sapwood in a fair amount of my projects, - apple has wonderful sapwood to heartwood contrast, as does English and black walnut. The only problem is that there are a lot of insects that love munching on it! These are logs that I've milled and all of them have some degree of worm holes. I don't worry about them much - fill 'em in with CA glue or epoxy and call it character. One cutting board I made had not one but two unlucky larva encased in epoxy and plain to see.

I'm a serial hobbyist, from automotives, firearms, woodworking, metal working, landscaping, home owning (so plumbing, roofing, electrical etc) and so on. I know enough to get by, most of the time. But it blows my mind how deep the well of knowledge goes in every single field. Most the channels I follow expose me to those depths and even if I can't possibly absorb them all it's a pleasure to try. Thanks for your videos, sharing your passion and knowledge with us.

    Great video! I have specifically chosen lumber with a mix of heartwood and sapwood for some projects because I was looking for that light and dark appearance. I built a top for a kitchen stand I built out of hickory with lots of sapwood and just few runs of the heartwood to get the look my wife wanted. The only downside is that I have had to strip the clear finish off, lightly sand it and refinish it to keep the look she wants since the color goes off on the sapwood pretty quickly. That's only a few hours of work so it's not a big deal. Keep up the great videos!!!!

    I work at a lumber mill and all this information seems great, but only to about half of the species that we run. Oaks and hickory may have more demand for the heartwood, but for species like maple and birch we have a much higher demand for the sapwood and we send a lot of heartwood to be made into pallets.

    At my workplace we use a lot of white oak, but also cherry and walnut, the problem with sapwood is it never takes the stain the same as the rest of the board and always looks strange and out of place among the rest. We build $3 million pipe organs and they have to look right everywhere, these days everyone and their car has a camera and nobody needs some tourist or visitor taking photos of your finished work and uploading it to social media where those "in the know" will immediately start picking it apart with sentiments like "I can't believe they used that ugly board THERE!!" and "look at that cheap ass plywood they used, they must have bought it at Home Depot!!"
    On a $3 million instrument, cutting away $50 worth of sapwood from a couple of boards doesn't matter, not when the shop labor rate is like $135 an hour

    I love using sap wood. I make wall lights with it and they turn out really nice because of it.

    I made a table out of hickory, which included some sapwood. I kept as much as I could because it made a great contrast that I think looks pretty neat. Also, if your lumberyard offers to dress your hickory, you should say yes. Hard stuff.

    i use them together quite often. depends on what the wood tells me what it wants to look like of course.

    I mainly make guitars in my spare time and sapwood can make for a really striking aesthetic on guitar tops. I noticed at my local timber shop, they had lots of nice slabs of wood with a mix of heartwood and sapwood, it seems to be getting very popular for using as tops for kitchen counters and tables, especially with the live edges

    Very interesting. This concept is really pronounced with yew and the sapwood is used on the outside of traditional longbows for its elastic properties. It behaves and cuts completely differently to the heartwood.
    Great video as always.

    I actually use a metric pantload of OSB in my small projects, boxes for example, because it makes a great woodland camo look. Even on jewellery boxes, 4 edges of finger jointed oak with two inset OSB faces makes a very interesting look. Once made, I stain it, chamfer all edges for contrast, split it, finish it, and add hardware.

    It would have been nice to have some examples of the joinery that allows this kind of separate movement on the cabinet, though :)

    Sap wood is more prone to wood worm. I've been turning some oak floorboards into a bath panel, for a bathroom we've been doing, and the only part of the old floorboards that have been affected by worm is the sap wood.

    The problem wirh sapwood is definitely the technical aspects. It is severely softer and often doesn't even want to stay together, it is prone to infestation and molding. It is severly less water resistant. It will also warp.
    I actually like the look of some sapwood projects but sapwood should never be at a edge of a piece and needs special design accommodation to become a functional and stable part of the furniture

    Another use: when it doesn't show or will be painted. Western Redcedar is popular for building fences and decks and the like, but a friend of mine bought sapwood boards -- part or all yellow colored -- for use in trim pieces on the outside of the house. He said it lasts 50 year or more (unlike what he was replacing) and is much cheaper than the clear heart stuff used for staining projects.
    Cedar fence pickets are something of a commodity around here, but I think if they were available in non-clear-heart they could be cheaper, filling a gap between pine (doesn't last) and cedar, when the fence will be painted.

    I have a bin that I throw my scrap wood into for other smaller projects later on. I personally save the sapwood for power carving; I find that the blotching you get tends to actually look good in small projects 😁

    Walnut sapwood furniture was often called “Satinwood furniture “. I keep the two separate. When I don’t, it can look not so good. Simpler to separate the two.

    I go out of my way looking for sap wood. Making gun grips , sap wood allows for a beautiful contrast. My Honduran rosewood burl grips are dark burgundy with a white sap wood accent. Just stunning.
