Glad you got some use out of it!

I have a few other articles, and im trying to get more written down.

Hey guys, ive seen a lot of misunderstanding here and on other forums about what exactly stabilized wood is, and what it does. I write up this article to explain as best I can some of the most frequently asked questions about it. https://greenbergwoods.com/what-is-stabilized-wood/ If you have any ot...

Hey guys, ive been working with a bunch of new stuff recently, and I wanted to show off a little!

Yes sir! I just have it listed as Stabilized Acacia

Hey guys, ive been working on something pretty cool lately. Depending how long you guys have been collecting, you may remember about 3-5 years ago when Tasmanian blackwood really came onto the knife making scene in a big way. Before, the go to curly wood was koa. But as you all know, koa prices have...

I am mainly a material supplier, if you want to peruse some choices of woods you can always check my website at www.greenbergwoods.com

Honestly, most woods will work.

Traditional Ho wood/ magnolia does pick up stains, dirt and dust a lot faster than a nice rosewood or stabilized piece of wood, but all will technically make a useable handle!

This was an absolutely fascinating video, thank you for posting this. Is that just regular varnish you're putting on those that make them look so vibrant or is that some special substance? Also, sort of unrelated, but the title of your post ("explaining wood") made me think of one of my f...

Good video Ben. I know it's not very complicated but I think a video/explanation what is Stabilizing, why it's done and how exactly it's done would be cool. Definitely! I actually wrote my exit thesis for my chem degree on stabilizing. I have a video on ebony in the works, but stabilizing is next!

Hey Guys, a while ago I made this video in which I explained wood figure, what causes it and how to understand its mechanism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQQn40Xxo7E I think im going to be making a few more videos now that im full time and have my own shop, what are some things you guys would li...

Hey guys, I finished my last real quarter of college, signed a lease on a new shop and will be going full time soon! So this is some of the wood I processed in the new place. Dont worry Mark, ive been setting aside some great wa stock for you too. New woods include Ringed Gidgee, Amboyna burl, Afzel...

At 14 I started bugging the local wood shop until they offered me a job. I thought you were supposed to know everything before you started working there, so i memorized the wood database and every wood working book I could find. I sold wood and made furniture for for 4 years until I graduated highsc...

I would be interested but shipping is seemingly a killer. Your base price is great. I'm in NM and got $10 for estimated shipping which nearly doubles the cost. Can you check flat rate or other alternatives? thanks, Danny Unfortunately that is the flat rate shipping. I charge one rate for a package ...

Sure! You dont need to order wood. Like I said, this is currently pretty experimental. If you want to order some coffee and give your thoughts, I would love that!

ben , do you mean to tell me i could have been getting coffee beans instead of ironwood scrap with all my orders? how have i not been gifted these beans? am i not your favorite client?

Very generous of you, Ben. I Would be happy to give it a grind and pass it through the espresso machine to see how it turns out. When the current supply will dwindle by the end of November, I'll be sure to check it out. Maybe folks can post some response here on the thread :) Sounds great. I'd love...

Hey guys, im trying something a little new. I am stocking some really nice coffee varieties For years, I have worked with suppliers in the tropical world, in Brazil, Sumatra, Java, Mexico, Columbia and Vietnam, all of which are famous for their coffees as well as local timbers. I often ask my suppli...
