Could you please do a informational/finishing video on Birch hardwood. Although I enjoy working with it and it is extremely affordable I'm not sure what all it would be good for. Also, I have struggled with finishing it. I've even used the pre-stain conditioner and it didn't seem to help. I attempted a gray stain once and that was very difficult... Thanks!! - Brian

My neighbor was throwing out a really old, huge coffee table a few years back. I brought it home, pulled it all apart, cut it up, jointed and planed it. Once I had all the old finish off of it, I could see it was all quarter sawn white oak.

I am new to woodworking and specifically I find the finishing process on all projects to be daunting based on the vast amount of products out there. I hope whoever gave this video the one thumbs down gets the Corona Virus.

The black grain filler on the white oak reminded me of an awesome Japanese finishing technique called "uzukuri." For those who don't know, uzukuri is the practice of raising the grain & going over the wood with a stiff bristle brush to create gouges. The lighter, softer wood brushes out faster than the darker, denser part of the growth rings, leaving a series of peaks and valleys. Black stain is then applied to the whole piece before it is lightly surface sanded to remove the top of the high rings. This gets them back to bare wood, while leaving the low parts untouched. The result is a bold, dramatic, extremely high-contrast grain, and the piece can then be stained any color you'd like without losing those dark black rings! Not as easy as using a black grain filler, but awesome nonetheless :)

Does this work for quarter sawn white oak? So basically wire bristle it, black pore filler, then sand again before sealing?

Nice presentation, and explanation of the sawing methods and their differences. Please consider expanding on the topic by demonstrating how to select project parts from within regular flat sawn boards, to emphasize grain appearance, stability, and figure. For instance, I like to use rift sawn grain for the legs of small tables, because it appears "quartersawn" on multiple adjacent faces. I get it by sawing parts from the edges of flat sawn boards, usually 6/4.

I love working with hardwood however sometimes plywood/MDF are better options due to veneering or expansion worries. Can you do a video on Plywood. For example- grading on both sides, the number of plys, the face ply how its cut, different versions (birch, baltic birch, russian birch etc). Specialty plywoods like marine, maple, walnut, white oak, etc.

Very nice! -- QUESTION -- We have had horrible experience with kitchen cabinets made from plywood or other "fake" wood products - edge tape sagging down, facing material coming off at toe kicks, interior drawer bottoms that sag etc.,. We would like to get solid wood, preferably quarter sawn oak cabinets so we will never have these type of problems again. Are the increased price of such cabinets simply the difference in the cost of the wood, and all other costs remain the same?

What other common hardwoods can one find quarter sawn readily available? Rift white oak has gotten more expensive and I need it more for stability than appearance. Ideally with a similar hardness.

What a great channel, and No FLUFF content! YAY!, I have a project I am stuck on....Hoping answers to my Q will get me over the hump.... What are a couple of your TOP sealers for a white oak that you want to STAY white oak ...Meaning you like the look of somewhat fresh cut white oak? Or at least when the veneer arrives new vs exposed to sun. For kitchen cabinets I want to apply the stronest protecting product that does not yellow due to UV. I understand that the wood itself will darken, and I am thinking of a 5 to10% white utg , err or is it UTS white color first then to seal. Your thoughts?
@WoodworkersSourcecom

UTC maybe? Universal tinting colorant? If that’s what you meant. You could try that, I’m with ya, I like that tan color of white oak without yellowing. Haven’t figure out the magic solution yet. On my list of stuff to try, but haven’t yet, is to use a water based clear top coat since they don’t warm up the wood color. And to “hold” the color I want to try something like Howards Sunshield as a UV protection. Arguably a conversion varnish is probably a pro’s answer but it requires HVLP equipment and skill

That is not true Quarter sawn at:52. True quarter sawn is closer to rif sawn than to plane swan. The first part you have right, quarter the timber. Then you need to cut perpendicular to the rings. Another way of explaining this is to cut from the center of the log all the way to the outside of it. Your method gets further and further away from being perpendicular with each cut. It does not allow for right angle cuts to the rings after the first 2 cuts. Many articles say your method is Quarter sawn but they are not entirely correct. Your method at :52 is plane swan the hard way after the first 2 cuts off each quarter.
