I totally agree with everything you showed and said. But you needed to show one more option in Lowe's. Their Poplar wood selection (at least in my Lowe's) is awesome. You need to sort it to eliminate the green and brown streeks.....but it carves great!
I enjoyed this segment and Mickey's comment is exactly right.
We were actually considering doing Poplar. I (Ryan) have used it several times. But, we tried to stick to 5. But I think we'll do more of these types of videos. Thanks Frank!
When I first started carving I learned a lot from your first video on how to look at a pc of cedar for holes and open spaces. This video is a big upgrade and will help many people.
Thanks Mickey! We had a lot of fun filming this one!
Love the American prices on milled lumber. I bought a 1x12x8'-0" (1/2"x11.1/2"x 96 milled). approx. 2 months ago from a big box store for $69.00 here in Canada. Ouch!!!!. Thank god my family have access to Cedar, Poplar, Pine, Elm, Oak and Beach on our acreage and our own mill, down side is the drying time (6 to 12 months) and the hand milling and sanding afterword so if I need a piece of lumber quickly I have to pay the box store price. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir. Every one is going thru the same thing. Sorry for the rant, love all your video's always look forward to the next, your Canadian Fan / Friend.
HAHA Man, those Canada prices are up there! Thanks so much for your support, buddy! We sure appreciate it.
Boy you guys are getting good at this stuff. I enjoyed this video even tho I dont carve.🤭
HAHA Glad you enjoyed it, buddy!!
Board management! Love it!
HAHA thanks buddy!!
Thanks for the video. Very helpful to those of us that don’t have a lumber yard handy. Also the reference video numbers were nice.
Thanks David! Glad it was helpful!
Love your "road trip" video's! It's always fun to see what is available at the stores. Since it often changes you never know what treasures you'll find. I'll have to check my local Lowes to see what they have now.
Thank you Miss Lori. Yeah it's interesting how the products will change from store to store.
Great show . You answered a lot of questions I had in mind . This show did it, Thanks.
Awesome, man! I'm glad it was helpful!
Thanks I needed this.
Glad we can help, buddy!

Thank you Nancy!
Nice team work.
Thanks Jim!
Thank you for the advice
Any time, Jacob!
Great Video.
Thanks Kurt!
Nice job EZ E...🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Dan-O!
I totally agree with everything you showed, I absolutely love the select pine for making my flags. You did forget one other wood that is great also, the teak rounds and panels, they are a bit pricey but you can definitely make a good return on your investment, and they carve nice as well.
That's true, those things look beautiful!
I agree on the pine. I just made a bed frame with the select pine and it came out so nice.
Awesome video! I use the cedar fencing a lot for other projects as well. One downfall to the cedar pickets is that a lot of them have the 'vertical grain' and can be hard to carve.
Thanks buddy! That's true, you really gotta take your time and pick the right boards.
Great initiative guys…news even for us Kiwis 😀😀
HAHA glad we could help Brent!
Awesome info ! thank you. As I don't
Know diddle squat! IN WOOD PRODUCTS. That is . Have a wonderful day .
HAHA our pleasure, Sheila!
Very interesting, although I am a beginner, the signs I make, I give away to friends and family. The picket fence is one of my favorites, the other boards are too expensive for me. I have purchased some live edge boards and had great success. (Sassafras, Cherry, and Ash)
Live edge is probably my favorite to work with. It always looks so nice
I wish the Lowes in Carbondale, Illinois had as good a selection as yours does.
Just keep your eyes open and experiment with different products. Thank you Monte!!!
Loved the video, it would be great to see a list that we can keep in our phone or pocket when we go and purchase the wood from Home Depot/Lowes.
That's a great idea!
For my cheaper signs I use the redwood fencing it's way prettier with a finish on it than the cedar fencing
The redwood definitely looks nice!
I buy all my sign wood from Lowes!
They have some good stuff!
I am becoming quite fond of poplar. a bit harder wood but easy to pull a line.
I like poplar too. it carves really nice
Unfortunately my Lowes here in Massachusetts does not carry Redwood, nor cedar decking, nor cedar pickets, nor cedar boards. It is all pressure treated southern yellow pine, not something you want to carve and breath. Poplar is cheaper by about 10% , compared to select pine. So I use a lot of poplar.
Hi Len, sorry you don't have much to choose from. Keep your eyes open maybe you have something we don't know of.
I'd be changing stores. Unhappy customer is not a return customer
I live in mass too but you can get cedar decking in NH Lowe's. Salem NH or the one in Nashua. Get it all the time. All I do with the decking is shave off the rounded edges of the deck board on a table saw. You got something you can laminate them. Easy pee-zee..
👍
Thanks Robert!
I've seen some cedar picket with no knots on one side only to turn over and on the back side are knots. This is always my issue. I shop Lowes and Home Depot.
Th knots on the back side are no big deal, unless they go all the way through the board. If one side is clear of knots, then just use that as the face of your sign. You shouldn't have any issues while carving those boards.
You might make a comparison at Home Depot.
I think we will!
We are so limited here, at our Lowes and HD. Our only decking is treated lumber.
Where abouts are you? They don't have any fencing or other stuff?
Knoxville, TN. We do have a Hardwood warehouse near by. I will usually go there, but it is hit and miss of what they have in stock, and it is an hour away.
Ya, that makes it kind of difficult. I'd like to go to different parts of the country and just check out the lumber they have. That would be a fun series of videos. Plus, it's a good excuse to fish different areas HAHA
@@oldave100 tons of fishing here. They damned up the rivers going back to the depression, so lots of lakes. And the lakes are huge. Check out Norris Lake, Ft Loudon Lake, Douglas Lake, Melton Hill Lake.
Oh, they're going on my list HAHA
Im not allowed to go to lowes without Tabitha anymore.
Don't let Tab tell you how to live your life, Bull. HAHA
I find that pine is hard to carve cuz it has hard and soft grain and it cause my bit to dodge and dart all over the place Maybe my bits are dull I need it order some I guess
It's definitely possible, but it also depends on what pine you get. Regular pine boards are pretty grainy, but that premium pine is awesome to carve
Those boards are end glued panels. There is no lamination covering the wood just boards glued together.
By laminating, I mean that multiple pieces are glued together. I should've been a little more clear on that point. Thanks Gary
It’ll be a while before my skills warrant more than Home Depot pine. 🙂
HAHA just keep it going man. You'll be carving live edge masterpieces in no time!
Wondering why you always use the term laminate for boards that are joined together. Laminate refers to layers. The correct term to use here is jointed boards.
I stand corrected. Thank you for clarifying this for me.
Ignorant woodworker here. Can you explain what "backers" are when you were discussing panel board.
HAHA it's basically putting strips or a piece of plywood on the back to make sure the lamination is good and it doesn't cup
Great vid. Please stop inserting music especially when talking. Hard to hear you Thank you. Binged watched a bunch of vids (as usual lol )
Thank you for watching and the feedback.
Definitely have to save this video we watched know a lot of the wood 🪵 selection in your area are different than mine it’s still great information
Thanks Charlie!
