Finishing up a video on marine grade plywood. Far too many people think they need this for their cornhole boards, so we'll discuss when to actually use it.

Holy cow y'all! We started working on a white oak video in August, but we wanted to ensure the finishing recommendation was foolproof. I hope this is helpful for y'all! What other woods are y'all needing an "ultimate guide" for?

We're working on a guide to finishing white oak right now. We get a lot of questions about how to finish white oak without darkening the wood too much, around 20 test finishes later, I think we have our best recommendation coming soon.

One of our suppliers was shocked to see how little prefinished plywood we go through and I couldn't help but wonder why? Cabinet shops go through truckloads of prefinished birch. Long story short, I thought I'd upload a quick intro video on why I use it. I'm curious if you have a good reason NOT to use it?

Y'all asked for plans from the table video we uploaded last month. I finally got Mark to sit down and do his best to explain how it's done. Short uploading! 👨💻

Just posted a new video about how to darken cherry. There are a lot of misconceptions about cherry, so let's set the record straight. Hope you enjoy it!

It was such a pleasure to build this patio table, and we really love how it came out! We're going to share a different kind of video (for us anyway) on Sunday morning June 12, 2022 at 9:00 AM PT. You're gonna get a longer step-by-step of how we (Mark and Corey) worked through how to build it and how we dealt with the challenges of the design. It's just us chilling out in the shop watching and commenting on an extended version of the build process. Sort of a behind-the-scenes thing with woodworking tips and just getting to know us a bit more. We hope you find it useful and enjoyable 👍👍👍
