Mass Wood working

I was reading about poplar the other day in Wood Magazine, I think. Most of us avoid poplar for our finished pieces, because it has kind of a weird green tint to it. However, according to the article, feel free to use poplar... if you are patient. After a few years of aging, it loses that green tint and looks pretty nice.

In this video, Ill show you what purpleheart looks like after it ages. Its a remarkable change. Plus, I thought Id throw in a couple of tips that you probably already know, but good ones, nonetheless.

Mere Minutes

Im not sure how I found these videos but they are pretty cool and pretty old (for YouTube).  I really like the tool rest he has in the bowl video.
