- Buying the nicest wood on Amazon. I bought 60 lb of Kiln dried, highly figured, exotic tropical woods online (about 15 board feet). This pack is a assortment of unfinished pieced and a variety of species. This is great wood for small crafts and boxes,. Here are a few of the woods I recived; Costa Rican Mahogany, Mango, granadillo, cocobolo rosewood, teak,spanish, cedar,goncalo, alves,monkeypod and mango. Amazing wood for a woodworker!

Hi. I have watched a handful of your videos and was moved to comment. I read somewhere (About section?) that you only started woodworking in Nov of 2022? You have gained a great deal of knowledge in a short span of time! You have a well equipped shop with some great tools (DeWalt planer, Microjig Gripper to name two). You built two dedicated table saw sleds. You have learned and demonstrate lots of useful tips and workshop safety. In short, I have been at this hobby/pasttime/passion for over 40 years and I'm very impressed. You are quite a talented woodworker. Best wishes and stay safe in the shop.
I built a white oak bank. I used an old brass post office box door for it. The coin slot was outlined with a border of purple heart. I've used zebra wood to make a base for a whales tooth I scrimshawed. The tooth has some vertical growth gum lines in it I aligned them with the zebra wood. I finished the zebra wood by polishing it and using Carnuba wax.
Say's Spanish Cedar. Cedars are usually a soft wood ideal for carving. If you are ever in Australia in the near future i can cut you some very nice Australian hard woods. Red Iron Bark, white mahogany, Australian bloodwood, tallowwood, applegum, greygum. spotted gum.I cut wood very week.🌲
Cool, thanks
I love Cocobolo! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Steve. I love Cocobolo as well
Just found your channel, love it so far! Can't wait to buy a box of this wood. Those pieces look beautiful. Finally exotic wood at an affordable price. Thankyou for sharing!
Just stumbled onto this channel, and I love the content so far! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much, Keshav
It is nice to see the same love of exotic wood that I have myself. Ten thumbs up!
Thank you for your kind words! It's encouraging to know that I'm not alone in my passion for woodworking.
Looks like a nice score. Cocobolo is one of my favorites.
Truly is wonderful wood for the price. I got the 25lb and the 35 lb from them. Honestly the 35 lb is not worth the price (I think) but the 25 lb package is fantastic every time
WOW!!! Like Christmas!! There are some really nice pieces you have there. Great purchase!
Yes! Thank you!
Spanish Ceder. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to order some.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Spanish cedar is ideal for cigar humidors.
I didn’t know that
The labeling adds a lot of value when you are new. You're strong like the bull carrying that awkard (sticks out from your body) take care for your back. No bad pieces. I like working team. Never have I seen granadilla it is beautiful. God bless. Thanks.
Yes! Thank you!
Nice score of exotic wood. And another fine video. You’re doing a great job!!
Thanks Bobby!
@@woodworkingwithSkyler you’re welcome
Thank you for explaining the utube pricing. I never knew, also I enjoy you programs.
Happy to help!
Very nice purchase! I haven't worked with half of those woods yet so I'm looking forward to seeing your projects. :)
Me too! :)
Spanish cedar. I imagine that has a great aroma. Would probably make a nice jewelery box.
Please make some videos showing what you do with the smaller pieces. If you already have, then thank you, and I'll find them eventually.
Nice haul. I have unique old speakers with cabinets of solid teak that was overlaid with split bamboo finished with nitro-cellulose lacquer that aged to a warm glow. Monkeypod carvings and curios are also an interest of mine.
Very nice!
Just found your channel so far so good. I hope you focus on building boxes using different joinery methods as well as other things. Good job!!
That's the plan!
The lighter coloured layer in timber is the cambium cell layer, which is the growing part of the trunk. It annually produces new bark and new wood in response to hormones that pass down through the phloem with food from the leaves. This is also known as sapwood which is undesirable in construction timber. Cheers
I didnt know that. I been looking for the sapwood because of the variation in color. Didnt know was inferior wood. I assume is probably ok for small boxes?
@woodworkingwithSkyler The balsa wood we know as kids for making model planes is the cambium layer of the balsa tree. The heartwood of the tree is much harder than the outer growing layer. This layer is easily separated from the heartwood straight after felling. Balsa is plantation grown in different tropical parts for this outer layer. Due to cost, Paulownia's fast growing is replacing balsa. Cheers from Australia. PS. We have some wonderful native timbers. In the past, our hardwood have been exported to the US and Britian for marine structures, eg., San Dirgo and London docks.
Sapwood is usually deemed inferior because it does not have the rich color and figure of heart wood, however, you can still make some very nice boxes with it, depending on how it is incorporated into the project.
Some of those pieces would make beautiful knife handles. Especially for Finnish or Swedish through-tank designs.
I totally agree.
Lovely jugs i have to say 😍
Be very careful with the dust of these exotic woods , particularly the cocobolo. They can really mess up your lungs and lead to future sensitivity. You’ll really like the scent of the teak and Spanish cedar. Bocote is usually from Mexico and a nice warm tobacco colour but oily/greasy. Many of these exotics are oily.
Gonshyallo alves is pretty close to the pronunciation.
:). I didnt know that! Thank you. I will make sure I will wear a respirator
I find that dust from black walnut (Juglans nigra) makes my nose bleed.
Excelente apresentação das madeiras exoticas, a maior parte delas não conheço, aqui na nossa cidade no centro oeste do Brasil tem algumas árvores de mogno de mudas e sementes trazidas da região norte, tenho troncos e galhos de mogno uns dois metros cubicos aproveitado na retirada de uma arvore em uma escola, o Gonçalo Alves é nativo aqui, ótimo trabalho, parabéns.
Thank you so much. I didnt know most of this woods either but they are beautiful
Thanks for this. I learned something new today as I had no idea one could order exotic woods from Amazon suppliers. Could you suggest ways other than a planer to remove the writing from the wood? I do not have a planer. Also, I clicked on the affiliate link for your supplier.
Lots of sapwood. Looks like mostly undesirable offcuts.
That's what I was seeing. A lot of sapwood and weak figured pieces. They would be good for small projects; boxes, wooden planes, handles, etc.
It’s Spanish Cedar
Isn't she smart? That red shirt looks fantastic!
Show us what you do with these woods as small projects.
Will do
Cocobolo
Question, do you know if they make the birds mouth pit in a quarter inch bit shank? I tried looking on Amazon and I really didn’t see it keep up the videos they’re great.
I never seen on in quarter shank
That is Spanish cedar😊
Thank you
Loving your channel, getting lots of great build ideas, as well as tools,tools & more tools. What type of camera do you film with or are you using your Phone? Glad we found your channel. ❤ Wilber & Margaret 👴🏻🧑🦳
I use my phone for my Woodworking channel. For my photography channel I use a Sony A7iv
Thank you.
Mango wood is a wood with beautiful grain orientation BUT! Very prone to pests, very frustrating compare to other type of woods.
You forgot the most important detail, what did you pay for that hole box?
Where do you get your exotic wood.
Amazon , link in the description
Who is the seller that you bought the wood from on amazon as I am not seeing a link for them. Thanks.
There is a link to it under description of the video
Are they predominantly flat or are some cupped. Great channel.
Mostly flat
not flat in any way . hehe
Who is your seller? I would like to purchase from him too
There is a link in description of video
thats a bargain !
I thought so too! Well….until you see the shipping cost
@@woodworkingwithSkyler 😄
just wondering Now much did you pay for that box of wood? might be well worth it for that chuck of Cocobolo alone, Edit: hehe, Just noticed a new channel as of May, Ten short videos, and already close to 600 subs lol do you think those shirts have anything to do with it lmaoo :P:P:P Cheers!
The 25lb box on Amazon is about $50 The shipping ia about $50 as well. The box I got was two orders they shipped together. 25 lb and 35lb. The 35lb is $150 because it included some rare pieces. In my honest opinion, the 35lb its not worth it thats why I didnt put a link in the description for it, The 25lb box had amazing pieces in it and is worth every penny
@@woodworkingwithSkyler I would have to agree with you, the cost of the wood itself is a good deal but add the cost of shipping to it and it becomes unreasonable, Hopefully, you will get your money's worth by making this video and future videos using it which I have no doubt it will be the case. there are some nice woods but Mohogany is pretty common and an inexpensive " exotic" wood, and so is all the Cedar they sent, Not because cedar came from overseas means it is much nicer than domestic red and white cedar here in North America. looking forward to seeing you hehe and what you come up with in future projects. BTW my edited comment was not meant negative in any way at all lol you are an attractive woman so why not showcase it along with your work right :P
Not scraps bull looks like most of it small SCRAPS
