Blood, Sweat, and Sawdust

I have wanted to start a tree journal for some time.  So, I am finally getting around to doing just that.  Consequently, I will write a new post every week spot-lighting a specific species of tree.  My goal is to educate myself.  However, I hope I will help some of you as well.

In each post, I will detail the tree’s description and their specific characteristics for woodworking.  Most trees will be ones that are locally available to me in the southeastern region of the United States.  Additionally, I will provide a link to each article below.  So, this page will serve as a sort of index.

Stay tuned for more.  If there are any trees you would like detailed, don’t hesitate to let me know.

• Diospyros Virginiana – American Persimmon
• Fagus Grandifolia – American Beech
• Quercus Montana – Chestnut Oak
• Liriodendron Tulipifera – Tulip Poplar
