I have built close to 100 or more, Monkeypod tables. What an awesome species for beautiful tables! Its fairly easy to work with, and finishes out beautiful! Im working on a 4' x 13' conference table now, that will be shipped to Tenneessee. I love this stuff!
The Monkey Pod is Absolutely Gorgeous.
Your milling videos are the most informative I have seen to date.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your feedback. It's absolutely our pleasure to make videos to show the process. Chris is a walking encyclopedia of great information!
That is some truly beautiful wood! That interlocked grain is stunning. Thanks for the video!
Monkeypod is such a unique wood. Glad you enjoyed seeing the process!
Awesom
Thanks for the video! I write this from my beautiful 28" x 70" x 3" monkeypox slab desk!
That's awesome!! Now you know where it came from. 😊
Beautiful, I've never seen any furniture made out of it
that is gorgeous wood
Thank you so much! Monkeypod is absolutely one of our favorites.
You are amazing guy i love your video so much
Omar, thanks for the kind words. We really appreciate the feedback!
Waterblasting the beginning to clean off grit and stones that could blunt your blade?
Yep! You got it!
Got a few 40in + monkey pod logs the other day from a tree job in north Florida. Haven't sawed them yet but it does look to have some beautiful dark heartwood. Im jealous of your WM1000 w/ hydraulic deck, pretty skookum.
Skookum?
Monkeypod? Is it related to any other species? I'm asking because I hadn't heard of it till now. I'll bet it's really expensive to have it shipped after conversion to the UK. Best regards.
Would be interested in learning what the process is to aquire and ship these half way around the world.
Bob, we'll be happy to help you! Can you reach out to us through our cookwoods website and we'll get you some details on this!
@@CookWoods Ha! I live in Cottage Grove, so I can just drive over! Was referring to importing the raw logs from fiji, or any other exotic location. I remember the Rosario Hotel in BC is incredible Mahogany. I thought that was so strange, then learned it came merely as ship ballast, a century ago.
How long does it take to kiln dry these pieces?
They go through a proprietary process of being dried start to finish. It really depends on the thickness we cut to. We do have some dry and available now if you'd like to purchase something that is kiln dried?
@@CookWoods As lovely as they are, I don't have the kind of space needed to work with something that size. Plus my wife would probably kill me if I dropped that kind of money on one board. I was more just curious about the process.
S U P E R ......
Thank you so much!
Geez thats a long intro!
That's some lazy hillbilly way of cutting not removing the slab after each cut its just harder on your equipment.
