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.

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.]]> 2021-06-02 23:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/FSSseniors2021/jackd/wish/1580931593 https://padlet.com/FSSseniors2021/jackd/wish/1580939074 For my internship, I helped out around the Staack-Moore Woodworking shop.
