Day 2

Today we mostly worked in the shop. I helped Tom dream up ways to organize his inventory, and started to put it into action. The organization of inventory is very important in tonewood because no two sets are the same, and they easily get lost among the others. There is a code that tells you when the log was cut, where the log came from, and where in the tree it came from. We also continued our experiment. After boiling the tops for over 4 hours, the water was amber colored, but we are still not sure how much of the resins we got out. More of the same work tomorrow. I am interested in seeing how the experiment turns out.


Here are some pictures from the shop:
