woodcraft

Im vierten (und nun dann auch letzten!) Teil unserer Rückschaufolge geht es zunächst um Partyspiele, bevor wir uns den richtig dicken Brettern widmen und über Euro- und Expertenspiele sprechen. Auch in dem Bereich war 2022 durchaus ein ergiebiges Jahr!

In der zweiten Hälfte der Folge hat uns die Technik ein wenig im Stich gelassen, weshalb die Tonqualität nicht auf gewohntem Niveau ist - wir hoffen, ihr seht es uns nach!

Euch viel Spaß beim Hören - wir freuen uns über euer Feedback auf Bluesky (@pileofhappiness.bsky.social), Instagram (pileofhappiness), YouTube (wir veröffentlichen die Folge auch dort - gern direkt zur Folge kommentieren) oder per email an pileofhappiness@gmail.com.

Und besonders freuen wir uns, wenn ihr uns auf Apple Podcasts oder Spotify bewertet!

Did you know Louisville cuts down 55,000 trees within its own city limits every year?  We didn’t.  That is until we interviewed Josh Weber, owner of Timber Woodcraft located in Louisville, KY.  Timber Woodcraft is a family-owned company that partners with local arborists to salvage urban timber.  They repurpose that timber to provide milled and kiln-dried lumber as well as live edge slabs.  Join us as we interview Josh Weber and discuss why he and his wife, Krista, have built Timber Woodcraft into what it is today.  The passion they have for Louisville’s urban canopy and what they are doing to bring awareness to what we're doing to it each and every day.  

Check out timberwoodcraft.com to see what Josh and Krista have available in lumber and slabs, and check out their shop where they have some amazing handmade products.

Spalted wood is beautiful. It’s a form of rotting, and it’s caused by fungi. Spalting comes in many forms: patterns, colors, textures. Until this century, the biology of spalting wasn’t well understood, and even less so any methods to produce it in a laboratory setting. We are once again joined by Javier Ribera, a wood materials scientist and mycologist from EMPA to discuss new research on spalted wood. The team at EMPA has built off of existing literature on the biology of spalting which has allowed them to artificially produce spalted wood, potentially opening a market for designer wood rot.

Topics Covered:

• History of spalted wood use in the United States
• Three kinds of spalting: zone lines, pigmentation and white rot
• Mel & Mark Lindquist’s legacy of spalted wood in woodcraft
• DIY spalting methods: the possibilities and limitations
• The mycology of zone line spalting: what species are involved? What does wood anatomy have to do with it?
• How researchers at EMPA are commercializing spalted woods
• How you can spalt your own wood at home!
