118 - Wood Strength??

Wood strength is a loaded statement. There are so many factors in HOW we use a board that determine which properties we look to for strength. This quickly gets complex so today I will boil it down to a density number and dispel the myth that rate of growth (width of rings) has anything to do with the density.

Very nice subject to learn but the format makes it a bit confusing at times for a beginner. at 41:00 A video from woodandshop called Anatomy of a log is a good complement to understand and visualise a log. especially to understand how a fast grown ring porous hardwood can be interesting to build a chair.
