Resawing Apple Logs into Cutting Boards & Cookies - Workshop Vlog #22

[Music] good morning fellow Woodworkers welcome back to another episode on the workshop Vlog it has been ages seriously oh my goodness so about 3 weeks ago and I finally um got my ass over to my workshop once again my daughter has been born about 3 months ago and I just wanted to spend a lot of time with her but I already finished one new project here with soon on that and today I'm going to Resa a bunch of logs um apple wood that my grandpa in-law gave me because one of his apple trees was kind of rotten inside um and we also had those pesky little B CER do you see that those are holes of bugs and they ate through the wood and it just fell down um it was a pretty old one probably 50 years or something it wasn't too big but was pretty tall um and he gave me the best parts which was still kind of fine and the cool thing about those is um that I don't want to do too much with those I just want to Resort those into boards and some cookies and just blame them a bit um let them go through my drum sender and just turn those into very very easy cutting boards for the upcoming art markets like the um Advent Market that I'm going to take part my hometown and so on and so forth so yeah that's that's basically the whole Workshop Vlog I'm going to resore a bunch of locks and we're going to take a look inside of those and and I'm going to be a lazy as today know hot glue what I'm going to do is I'm just going to screw um those locks in because the outermost part of the lock you can't use anyway so there's not much um meat or wood there so yeah really doesn't matter like like the Barky part just going to screw those in that's going to make my life easy and just a regular resawing procedure um put it like here such that I can Resa this part first we get a flat side then put it onto the flat side with this board running alongside the fence and then I got a 90° angle hopefully and then I can just start um yeah just reso this thing this is one of the methods or I'm going to get one side straight and then I'm going to use this as a reference against my fence to get myself more boards we'll see about that I'm going to vary it TI little bit also cookies as mentioned before we are going to make some of those here so pretty excited about that and people usually pay for for cutting board of length 30 cm maybe 1 and a half CM thick and so on like little breakfast boards 15 to 20 bucks and they really sell out pretty quickly because they are cheap and they are made of pretty rare wood you could say exotic Woods um so yeah let's go ahead and get started let's not waste any more time let's th this B in and then we going to start with resawing I got a bunch of those I dare you do not judge me for my tiny drill I got my other one at home I forgot to bring drills with me so yeah this is one that I still have lying around as a spare in my workshop so I admit it did not work so I got to use hot glue after all as always but that's not a big deal hot clue works like a charm in a normal case so let's just use this SN for ronas got the bucket Mei got the hose and I got the hand and I also got absolutely beautiful apple wood like oh my Lord that is going to be such a fine cut and it smells great oh if you've never worked with Applewood you're missing out on something it seriously it smells so great holy okay let's go so let's take a look at the next cut was a bit harder remember I got a hand amazing simply amazing wood what a cut I'm thinking about running this over the jointer such that I can get a nice surface and even though we don't have much wood here on this first part it's still enough to get at least one cutting board out that size or maybe a chak reboard in some kind of way a longer one and I think that's a great detail right here this bug hole that's amazing [Music] and I seriously thought that more of the wood was rotten or something but just some epoxy it's going to do just going to go a long ways um to stabilize everything and to get beautiful beautiful Cutting Boards out just take this off and you got a long one a real long cutting board 20 bucks that's so much that's so much profit and just overall it's it's amazing that's great work all right so the last few pieces relatively rotten so I even found two live bucks in here one small lava here and one fully grown one inside of this but I killed those so this could make for very interesting I don't know cutting board or maybe something else I'm not certain looks great but here we got a bit of Rod it feels really mushy like some kind of shroom um sitting in here something of the sort but nothing that epoxy couldn't stabilize but other than that beautiful wood here's the rod too um but on the other side looking fine I mean even if I fill this that is probably going to look pretty cool um or I'm going to make a glue up cutting board like cutting this part out and on the other one and then GLW it together really doesn't matter but this part pretty damn fine um going to use it yeah I got two four six ones out and next up we're going to do some cookies I suppose there's going to be a few great ones in there pretty excited about those now with this next one I need to get really creative because I have no idea how I'm going to get a clean Edge on this one at first or clean face such that I can Resort nicy but you can probably see why this is going to be an amazing piece where we are going to get cookies out because we got this not over here um we got several brenes actually and this was like the main part of the tree where everything branched out at the top this is like an amazing piece for wood turning actually so it kind of breaks my heart to basically deconstructed into cookies but I don't have life anyways which could get this capacity going I just don't have the diameter to work with something like this so it's not a problem I got more apple wood and also plumwood and so on Cherrywood up there in my attic so what's going be the plan here is most certainly or probably what I'm going to do is I'm going to get one clean cut right through here this part down here is kind of uninteresting I'm going to turn those into cutting boards with this length and the other ones are going to be turned into cookies up here and with this clean Edge I should be able to get bunch of cookies going thing is on end grain or this massive amount of Endra I really can't use my jointer it would be just way too dangerous so um I just need to be very slowly on the Ben saw and I think we can get it done somehow at least I have this clean Edge down here already which I can reference off so yeah probably going to do this got to get this cleaned up there's a small part from chainsaw here which still needs to um be cleaned off and then we are good to go I think that's going to be exciting to say the least we see how all of that works out okay um it's a fairly short cut so I think this right here should hit the sport pretty nicely those are rather long breakfast boards and here I can get some ridiculous cookies out I think let's go right so that is looking good no rot in here it's not very softened up but that's already a fine looking cookie just look at that and do you see the Symmetry here do you see how the um how the tree got kind of deformed or corrupted you could say here this is where the prench started where it started branching off and you get those weird curly stuff in here that's choan SE basically it's amazing it's it's wonderful It's a Wonderful feature of Nature and I can't wait to get cookies out so let's go now this last one is I would say pretty characteristic don't think that I can make much out of it but I think that looks pretty cool with this um pretty tried up wood here dead wood um it's cool but we got a bunch out we got two four six seven great ones out this one's not so nice and this one I don't know can go into the firewood but other than that great stuff um what I'm going to do now is instead of gluing this piece down um I'm going to try something that is rather forbidden not really forbidden but not many people like to do it I'm going to run this just over the jointer um thing is you don't want to run bar over the jointer because the um the the knives can get dull I think rather quickly don't know why but this is what woodwork say at least um I I think so I'm just going to do it uh it's not much bark on here so just got to run it over three to four passes then I got a flat side then we can continue with restoring everything let's go I mean it worked the first part was a tiny little bit sus and I was a bit afraid because it wasn't even at all so it just fell into the joint a bit but everything worked out nicely so just be careful when working with this machine and have your hands away as far as you can like I did up here and even if something gets sucked into the air or anything just take the hands away and everything works out so yeah let's go this was an awesome piece of wood even the last one it's a tiny one back side doesn't look good I'm I'm going to see how I'm going to turn this into something nice but other than that they all look pretty damn amazing like the structure of the wood everything it's pretty St solid still it's it's it's just fine wood I I just really like it apple is amazing um one concern of mine is if I leave cutting boards like this for example then we got this knot up here and don't think that this would look pretty good or maybe it's a bit too spiky I'm not certain about that maybe I'm going to cut this off or maybe I'm just going to turn those into straight cutting boards I'm not certain about that we got two 4 six out so lot of cutting boards end like already and I'm going to call it quits for today last thing I'm going to do is I'm just going to put those in the little towers up there my attic because it's really hot up there so they can dry out really quickly and yeah then I'm going to see you tomorrow for more rewing action
