    Looking for a hardwood

    Posted: 05 Aug 2020 06:10 AM PDT

    I'm trying to make a gun stock war club and I want a really hard and strong wood which can take impact. I don't want it breaking on me at all. I want this to be a weapon I grab when I fear someone's breaking in and I wanna make it my go to grab for many more times in the future so strength is key. What are your suggestions?

    Looking for some advice

    After soooo many years of half-arsed wood carving&working, I'm hoping to 'get serious' - is burnishing the best preservation? Pics/album in-thread :)

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 01:38 PM PDT

    I've been doing fine-detail carving on the deadwood that's on my bonsai-trees for half a decade now (on the 'artistic' side) and, in freelance-handyman adventures, have done pretty much any residential/commercial wood project you could name (am also the proud owner of a pretty thorough tools&accessories arsenal, just my grinders' attachments have outgrown the suitcase I'd initially stored them in :P )

    For bonsai there are many ways to acquire trees, I personally do not buy them (or grow them out) but instead collect large/mature specimen or take large hardwood cuttings from species that will allow it (bougainvillea, ficus etc) Because of the nature of it, not every tree that I wanted to bonsai, ends up surviving....so I've now got a good sized pile of trunks I was hoping to make bonsai, but instead will be using to make stands/platforms (to display single-specimen bonsai, at least for now) I figured it may be easier to put some pics of what I've done, and am working with / hoping to do, to make-clear how I'm using stuff/what I'm doing so here's a mini imgur album I put together for this to give an idea what I mean, am not working with large slabs of Oak am working with whole-tree materials (although I've been climbing a couple years now, if I had the space - and I will soon enough - I'd already have a ton of great Oak and Maple pieces but sadly right now I have to dispose of most-everything I cut..)

    Thanks a TON for any&all guidance to this n00b, I've dabbled in most forms of artistry (incl sculpting) and, so far as residential/commercial wood-working I'm definitely beyond amateur (like, it's very very simple for me to build a good shed to-code, to do flawless crown molding/baseboards, am good w/ my equipment ie precise but making these dead-tree 'corpses' into bonsai-stands will be the 1st real 'merging' of "traditional woodworking" and "artistic woodwork" I've done, the two were always separate ie traditional when working and artistic when at-home carving deadwood on my bonsai trees, am really stoked to combine them & want to ensure I'm approaching the basics of preservation correctly so I can comfortably invest the time to do things right, instead of half-arsed like the 1st photo in that album where it's clearly a throw-together!)
