Beautiful work! I'm currently working on a driftwood stump, to be used as a base for a slab wood table, and I'm looking to achieve a light(er) shade and finish Any suggestions on how to best lighten up the wood to better show the grain?

I've been working with nature's wood for years now. I always wondered if it took other's as long to get to the good wood/skeleton as it would take me. It is a long but well worth it process.on some pieces I pressure wash all the dead wood off. Saves time and brings instant satisfaction..to shine wood I use wood on wood. Ty for sharing this video. Beautiful piece..

I have saved some nice pieces of driftwood over the years and I am going to try your process. Terrific job. Love the look. And there is a dust shroud made specifically for angle grinders. It is a circular piece that surrounds the sanding disc and has dust port you can attach to a shop vac. It will greatly reduce the dust.

Use Elmer's Rotting wood stabilizer !! It's a game changer !! It stabilizes the last little bit of punky wood you don't want to lose ! I get it at Lowe's, it looks just like Elmer's glue but I promise you will LOVE it !;

They make flat sanding discs instead if flap ones, they work better. look up KUTZALL TOOLS and the KING ARTHERS MERLIN , they are way more suitable for wood carving sculptures and driftwood. I cant understand why people wont share there tips with other people. I am a 52 year old women not afraid of power tools, safety first!!! good luck and keep up the beautiful work.

How do you price your finished pieces? I’m presently residing on Kentucky Lake and have been enjoying working with the found driftwood from my little hike excursions and it’s become thoroughly satisfying, relaxing and rewarding. I’m interested in knowing the monetary aspect from a possible small artisan/craftsman distributor perspective. Any info is very welcome and greatly appreciated 🤟

Hi, I wish I knew. It's so hard to price these because so much time, love, and effort goes into each piece. Because of that, I haven't really sold any. I have donated some for auctions though.

Hi 👋, I am new to your work shop, and travelling experience, looks like you’ve been to some amazing places, I know this is a very old territorial of yours, so he might not see this, but I’m interested in driftwood art, and sculpture, wood turning, as I need to do something to keep myself occupied, as I live in part of rural France, there are a few tools you could use besides grinding disc, there is a tool called a Dremel, with a Flexi shaft, but I think it might be worth you getting a more industrial type, and you can put tips into it. Call Di grinders and attachments that will help you get into tiny small places, good luck with your voucher, Phil from the moulin France.

@@DrTeresaVanWoy Hi Terese , thank you for your reply, I hope you are all keeping safe and well, I am a retired English gentleman living in France, not sure about the gentleman 😂, I had a specialist joinery business, back in the UK, I started furniture, renovation type projects, buying and selling, and I had clients that I would restoring antiques for them as well, and some of the same clients would ask me to make certain types of furniture, anything from chairs, tables, bookcases, it was a big struggle at first of all. I even done some subcontract work for Walker’s the organ building company., and John and Michael Simpson, the architects of London, Then over the last 18 to 20 years, I was into property renovation barn conversions, Where I would make specialists doors, windows staircases. Et cetera , I moved to France in 2019, after my ex female partner and I split up, I’ve managed to bring a lot of my tools and equipment over to France, but I need to find something to do to keep myself busy, so I started doing Woodturning various other bits and pieces, there in about three years ago, after a big storm, I found ,Quincy, some lovely pieces . 591. Of wood in the river that runs alongside my property, which I have managed to drag out and I’ve been drying ever since, I then started looking on the Internet for making driftwood art. I found a lot of people like yourself all over the world that he’s doing it., there is some amazing sculptures out there, last year, I even spoke to a couple think it is in Sweden, they do driftwood art on the beach, where they would construct very large, pieces of art that look like animals, Deers, bears, et cetera, Then over last week, I found your KZitem channel started watching it, whereby I thought I just leave a comment, I’m not sure how to get in contact with you , as I cannot find your email address, and I’ve tried to send my email address to some other people were using KZitem, but I don’t think it’s allowed it gets taken off site, plus I’m not very good at computers, I’m not very good at English literature as you can probably gather, I have to use my microphone on my device to bear to write a letter like this, I don’t mind saying I think I’m dyslexic, I will try and put my email address into this message, it will be a city in the states, three digit number, @ , hot mail .

I would say don’t cut yourself short on selling your driftwood art. There are some older videos “Brushed By Brandy and one by Crysdawna when they were promoting Dixie Bell. The video is how to start a business selling furniture and how to price pieces; the same concept goes into how to price your pieces. Lots of details and things I wouldn’t have thought of calculating in….just look one of them up on YT and click in how to start furniture business or how to sell furniture. I they put the videos out 2019-2020.

I was typing try a angle grinder, as you mentioned the lady telling you about it, haha. I will also say have you used wood hardener , I have been playing with wood( I tend to say deadwood, cause its not always found or been drifting, ha) for a little while, it stemmed from growing Bonsai trees. I Esp. love geology as well. When I find some root wood with rocks that have been grown over and now part of it , Im a happy boy, ha. But I love anything made from nature. BUt please use caution with the grinder, it is powerful and easy to get hurt. Look into the disc's too, some have different attachments with like chain teeth, and will go to town on the wood, but then also use it with high # grit and your smoothing it out, if you desire. Anywho, Im fan! Be well and safe.

Well, driftwood typically means that it has been in water. A river, or ocean. So the water itself Smooths it and removes the bark, etc. But, pieces of wood or root found in a forest are beautiful to work with. Not sure that they would necessarily be called driftwood. But it's the same idea.
