For my internship, I helped out around the Staack-Moore Woodworking shop. I worked there for 5 days from 9-5 helping out with whatever they needed around the shop.

Jim showed me these two pieces to show me an example of how different treatments can change the look and the function of a piece of wood. Caramelization is not just for onions!!! The process involves baking the piece of wood at a very specific temperature so as to caramelize the natural sugars left in the wood. Ash is normally not a great wood for the outdoors because the sugars in the wood allow it to rot faster, but once it is caramelized and the sugars are burnt out, it is much more durable and better for the outside, not to mention the beautiful effect is has on the grain.

They had me doing this one afternoon, way harder than it looks. I kept burning it too much.

The other picture is the finished product from the charred finish I'm doing above. They have another person doing the finishing I just burned it.

this was definitely the most boring part of my internship, I worked on this wall and another section above it for roughly 16 hours of my internship.
It was really frustrating at first but as I spent more time on it, I found that my work was much neater and I was way more efficient.
Repointing is the process of replacing grout between bricks as over time it gets starts to fall apart. this is a different green shirt from the torch pic i swear.
