Unboxing 320kg of Lumber & My Enormous Exotic Wood Stash! - Workshop Vlog #4

[Music] good morning fellow woodworkers today i received a big bed of wood a lot of exotic woods whole logs since i recently got my laguna pencil as you might have seen in the previous workshop vlog and yeah what i'm going to do today is i'm going to show you around in my wood stage and what i received in the mail and yeah i hope you are going to enjoy my little wood overview that i'm going to give you today oh well hello there welcome to my infomercial well that's a very nice and professional woodworking setup that i got here a very tiny workbench as you have seen in the last episode and also a package to unbox well what can you do it is what it is so here's the first of about six packages that i'm going to unbox so let's go ahead and get started using my japanese marking knife because it's very nice to open packages using it and you can sharpen it very nicely at some point okay oh we got a bit of paper which i can definitely reuse and what do we have here well these are the plum locks oh yeah boy looking fan or no no what is this those are the olive um those are the olive locks so overall we got 10 kilograms of olive let me weigh this real quick i'm curious well seems to be the case that it's about 10 kilograms the price for 10 kilograms of olive wood here was only 35 euros that is not much free delivery um that's seriously not much for such an amount of olive oil here in germany in normal case you're going to pay way more well these are logs they have dried for i think two years or something the seller said and i'm pretty excited to resort these on my bandsaw in one of the next episodes um it's going to be a very informative episode and yeah i seriously can't wait um let's take a look at the crane can i see any of the grain i mean you can see it a tiny little bit but it's it's well it's a raw log so you can't see much at the moment but here this right here are the olive wood locks and let's continue with the next package those are heavy next up this one okay so if those were the olive wood locks then those right here should be the plum locks if i'm not mistaken whoa they are a bit mossy i suppose it's not a problem at all i mean they are raw locks and they dried for about half a year at this point so we got a small one here oh holy [ __ ] i love plum wood it's so beautiful the roarlock holy [ __ ] look at that grain i can't wait to cut it up sadly i can already see that we got a pretty big step wood part but that's not a problem i want to use it for small projects anyway so they can have a little bit of support um it's not a matter of stability or anything of that sort for the things that i'm going to use it at least the small lock wood movement really doesn't play a big role so i can use the sap wood i'm a big fan of sap wood but here we got a better piece it's a pretty mossy one as you can see here um but the hardwood big old piece of hardwood in here let's take a look at that it's it's beautiful those are going to give me some very very nice planks i mean it's a tiny little bit rotten here at the core but i mean all the other parts down here in this half they are just going to be really beautiful planks i think yeah pretty excited about the plum wood can't wait to resort this one um pretty amazing gonna be pretty good now for the big packages for the big players holy smokes ah they are always so big um if you are wondering where i get my wood from those locks were from ebay and those big packages that i always receive are from design halls friend of mine you could say internet buddy and bunch of very nice people check out their website linked on the description hopefully at this point they already renewed the website such that it looks even better very nice prices going on over on design halls not sponsored by them but i just love their products such great logs and nut locks planks but overall such a great experience working with these guys they basically provide me with nearly all of the wood i have ever used for semi2u and my personal projects holy [ __ ] okay that is starting off pretty damn fine oh i love it zebra wood take a look at this piece i saw them online they basically just put it up the day i bought them i just had to have them one of the highlights for me is um to the grain of zebra which is already so [ __ ] cool but if you take a look at that i wanted this one specifically specifically because it has wormholes in here but very good looking ones i really like something like this those details fill them up with just a tiny little bit of epoxy and it just looks freaking amazing even now it already looks so damn good holy smokes i love zebra wood we got two of these here and if you're familiar with wood prices you are going to know that these two blanks already cost a fortune small one but they are not as expensive as plywood currently no that was just a joke but you probably know the lumber prices for plywood too and yeah just freaking amazing i just had to have these enough zebra wood and i want to have uh i want to do a lot of projects with it so i didn't order this one thank you so much you even put happy new year onto the plank that is so nice of you thank you very much that is olive wood he knows that i really like olive wood and i think he just gave it to me um as a present thank you very much what a great new year's present and this just screams for becoming a little table oh yeah hey i can't wait that is amazing thank you very much i told you the guys from design holes are just the best they are the best such nice people yeah thank you so much that's so cool that's a very very spicy piece it's yeah it just has such a nice shape that is so cool and now i can already smell it red cedar wood oh holy [ __ ] red cedarwood if you have never seen cedar red cedar wood is definitely more beautiful than yellow cedar just take a look at the grain take a look at that it's ridiculously cool and just a small sepward part this is why i got these because there's not much sapwood on here and i can definitely make use of these three to create some kind of tabletop or like or like a small table but the grain on this one i can fill all these um branch holes up with epoxy and the light but the crane on this one is just ridiculous it's just seriously it's like the sapwood melted into the heartwood um so freaking amazing just looks so damn good and yeah the smell of red cedar is just amazing it's just ridiculously it's just ridiculously good i love it yellow cedar too but actually as a fun fact from red cedar i do not get any kind of headache from the smell once i mill it but from yellow cedar for some odd reason i get headaches i don't know why that is but i keep it away from from where i work quite a bit because as for the smell it just gives me headaches like like perfume and all of this stuff i don't know why that is it's it's just weird but yeah red cedar is a bit better for me and it looks better so i'm going to go with red cedar now for the next package shall we now the next package is also really heavy because i should have some really heavy pieces of wood in here um some really dense ones oh yeah oh that looks good so so the first ones are some that i use for 10 secrets and those are olive wood blanks once again yeah i seriously love olive wood it's one of the best wood types those were are new they are one centimeter thick olive wood planks and i plan to basically put them together and create lamps from them so glue them together um this is what i have in mind so for later projects and oh they went overboard this time with the crane that's ridiculous and they are for the 10 secretaries and the people who are going to get these integrities this time around are [ __ ] lucky bastards holy [ __ ] the grain they are 5.5 millimeters thick and thick not a dick they are fake and well they are just perfect for my 10 secretes i love to use these um six of these also three of the thicker ones and now a very very awesome wood type that i really love just for its color um it's so ridiculously cool looking paduk also called coral wood paduk is just wait what can you say the color is just freaking amazing it looks rusty it reminds me of the color you find in the um in the desert from from minecraft i can't get the name right now but you probably misa by or misa biome it reminds me of this one and overall it's just such a cool color such a seriously nice color that you get for paddock and it's it's perfect for cutting boards and all of that sort and the grain is seriously gorgeous i really love purdue and yeah last piece is one other type of wood that i seriously love and it's just a good replacement for ebony for example if you don't have that at hand or other types of rosewood venge oh yeah venge just look at that crane gotta bring it a bit closer to you it's just so cool and so [ __ ] that's you have no idea how heavy the sport is um venge this one has been put onto the website one day after i ordered all the other things um but i told him that i would love to have this piece of venge too and then he put it into the box too right before sending everything out and yeah let's move on to next packages i think [Music] talk about timing series right on time for today's video the truck rolled around with a new wood delivery and well a bunch of assorted wood types the price for those about 220 kilograms of raw lumber were about let's say 1 200 euros so 1 500 which i think is totally fine for over 200 kilograms of walnut mahogany and maple let me show you around is it just me or is that maple looking kind of thick about five centimeters thick five to two centimeters then we also got same thickness of mahogany those are these morgani lambert flanks and also i got a bunch of american walnut yeah those are these long planks which amount to two meters and 30 centimeters in length and yeah as mentioned before a look at these maple boards they are ridiculous also 2 meters and 30 centimeters plus some parts they had to cut off but beautiful lumber definitely beautiful lumber [Music] so [Music] uh [Music] [Applause] [Music] now before we get to unboxing the upper boxes and going upstairs to see what other wood types i have lying around i'm always wondering when receiving a new batch of wood what the crate is going to look like how much sap wood the wood is going to have etc this is why i'm going to take such a cut-off and i'm just going to let it run through the planner and i'm seriously curious what my new batch of wood is going to look like let's go yeah what can i say um it's freaking beautiful the color it's ridiculously nice and there's nearly no sapwood even on the inner part of the wood and the smell is very very good i'm liking what i got here and i got about 20 meters of it it's awesome now you might be wondering what all of these packs are let me show you here's my knife okay little surprise pack so i have never seen someone sell wood for such a cheap price on the internet just look at that i got about 25 kilograms of european walnut here and all of these are well knife planks pen planks with a diameter another diameter is side length here square base of six by six centimeters and a length of 30 centimeters one of these is about well 800 grams and the person online sold one of these planks believe it or not for about four euros i think this is ridiculously seriously ridiculously cheap so i bought 55 kilograms of wooden planks half of these 30 of these are european walnut like these ones and they look really good they look really nicely manufactured and the crane on the european walnut is also looking um redder is just me i don't want to state my opinion but is the crane looking kind of fake but yeah um ridiculously cool so many kilograms let's take a look at one more yeah those are looking really good those are looking really good all of these are hardwood pieces hardwood planks and in a normal case there should be 30 other typed pen planks in here and let me see for a second ah yeah there we go pretty excited about these spalted beach or as other people like to call it rotten wood well what do you do to get yourself sported beach just look at the crane it's freaking ridiculous i have an a video going on at the moment which i'm filming and there's a little sneak peek over there okay it's a tabletop but yeah this right here is spotted beach what to do is you're going to fall a tree okay you are going to kill it basically and then you are going to let it rot on the ground for a bunch of months and at the right point when malt is scrolling into here giving the beach it's significantly more nice grain you are going to stop the rotting you are going to try the wood or you are going to freeze it accordingly giving you this amazing grain amazing grain amazing grain yeah but some of the crane is just ridiculously cool just look at this piece this is such a signature piece and i have a lot of cool projects which i would like to do with these planks okay also another table top coming in yeah and this is basically a 30 length of these um spotted beach wood thingies okay and also 30 of the european walnut ones now i have a lot of wood lying around which i have to bring to the first floor and yeah i'm going to show you around on the first floor and i'm going to tell you which other types of wood i have lying around so fellow woodworkers that's my wood stash i brought everything that i had up here and now i can show you a bit around so what we got up here are a lot of beechwood planks it's just regular beechwood which has been glued together okay from by factory and all of these planks have been cut by me i'm going to use these for creating a board game called gelton connect i also have a bunch of other beach lying around the like all of these down here are beach and yeah i still need them for the purposes explained earlier also there are some big boards over there other than that what i have up here is an old piece of spruce wood okay nothing special going on but these are rather interesting i have a lot of bowl planks up here pan planks knife planks i bought these because they made up for very very nice mix so for example one that we have seen before is seprano zebra wood look at the texture very nice that's an x card a rift card and yeah you are getting a lot of good results from cutting it like this also this right here is a variant of the sported beach that you have seen this is the so-called ice buche namely frozen beach you could say it's basically being created by the same procedure you're going to let the wood rot but you're going to freeze it at a certain point in time okay when the texture is nice and spicy this is a bit different from the spotted beach there you are just going to let it rot and then you are going to let it dry be it kiln dried or air dried other than that we have a lot of classics up here like mahogany i got a bunch of mahogany today also we got um this right here is coral wood also called paduk you have seen it too here's a big old boat length of paddock very beautiful wood it's just something that we haven't seen up until now this right here is american cherry wood okay nice wood has a nice texture and when you oil it up it looks pretty damn good too other than that here's a bit of catalog i have a bigger piece of cattle lodge lying around here and catalog is seriously beautiful it's a type of rosewood and just look at that it's basically a good substitute for ebony it's deep purple or black in the hardwood and also basically pure white on the sapwood which makes for very very cool contrast i really love catalogue and i have one product abandoned on stem to you featuring catalog then we also have red gum wood up here has a very nice texture too as well as platinum wood platana and also a bit of european maple and oh yeah this one is one that i really like too that's a type of walnut it's called a masakoi this is one that grows if i'm not mistaken somewhere in africa too and we also got dusiroux also a very nice tree with very nice texture so those are those are a lot of planks i also have a bunch of others lying around here but let's get to the other piles what i also got is obviously a lot of cherry wood which i use for the product on stemming studio this right here is curly flam cherry it's a type of cherry wood which has a flammy pattern in here which very well fits my channel name flemish wood maybe you can see it here like the curly pattern which arrives when the tree is throwing in a kind of degenerate way you could say also a bunch of european and also american walnut going on over here big planks and way more of the good old cherry as well as black cherry in the background and over here what i have is so called checker tree one of the most expensive wood types that you can find at least in the european branch this is checker wood and it looks very very good it's a type of pear tree and yeah you can get it over here i think you can nearly not get it over in america it's really expensive it's really expensive wood too but other than that what i have over here let me track the camera a bit with me now if you take a look at this wood this right here is so called lace wood or lugo fire it looks like it has some kind of disease and i actually made a video on it already other than that what we have here in the background the steep purple is so called purple hardwood which is also a very very dense wood but has a very nice color to it and when you first oil it up it looks very deep purple but over time it actually it depends where you store your wood but over time once you oil it up it becomes rather blackish so yeah this is some kind of disadvantage we got a lot more soprano and a lot of hot maple here this right here should be sicker more maple a big or slab now down here a lot of different wood types i received this when buying from a certain shop in germany um he provides me with thin pieces of wood which are just off cuts but those thin pieces of wood are actually freaking amazing for my purposes especially for the 10 secrets like we got this very thin piece of um of coral wood so padauk and it's just beautiful to use this in my projects thin piece of cherry thin piece of this right here is actually swiss plum and a lot of other wood types um for for some of these i don't even know what this is i think this is some kind of nut tree but i'm not certain this right here should be yellow cedar i can already smell it this is the type of cedar that gives me headaches this right here is curly sycamore and we also got some cannery wood going on as well as some more this could actually be i'm not certain what it is can it be mahogany or ratik i'm not certain about this but it's not padauk and a lot of other wood types like european elm and i don't know what this is right now and a lot of other oh yeah as well as some bamboo boards black bamboo which i really like and over here we just have some scrap wood as well as belzer wood now what about these over here not on here first thing you see are big old chunks of one of my most favorite wood types named the olive wood i have a lot of these lying around i had nearly 100 kilograms of olive wood at the start and it has reduced nicely over time next to the olive wood we also got some this right here should be white oak this right here is white oak and also i got a bunch of mahogany boards here which i also use for my headphone stands on top of the mahogany what we have here are the checkerboard checker 3 boards and i think yeah there's another piece of mahogany trapped over here that's a nice piece of mahogany looking pretty thick i gotta admit that and also a very very beautiful piece of olive look at that this is just going to make for very nice bench okay this right here little bench top that's a beautiful piece of olive wood and i can't wait to work with it a bit more on top of here we are also going to have some other boards of walnut and at the very top you might have seen it already is a big old chunk of [Music] curly and also what is it called i burl um elm burl you can see the burl parts here there was a pretty expensive slab but this is going to make for a very nice coffee table just like it just take a look at the whole top it's it's it's amazing it looks really good it has a very nice form to it i can't wait to work with it a bit further but other than that there's not much more to see the last thing i have over here is just a bit of well beach as mentioned at the start and also i have a bunch of well um acacia wood okay acacia wood is still trapped behind here but it's it's it's not a nice looking slab it's like glued together wood lime holes um but i'm using it for some projects from time to time but yeah this is my wood stash and it's worth quite a lot at this point i'm becoming a hoarder i just want to have i just want to have wood at this point which i can work with over time i want to have it at first especially during ronachan and during the inflation of lumber prices and the more you can have for good prices the better you are off in the long run but yeah i hope you did enjoy what you have seen today and if you did i need to pull down a little bit let me drag the camera here if you didn't enjoy today's
