Hello Global Tribe of PhyreKeepers (GTOP)!

09/10/2021 – Welcome to Phyre Dojo’s 47th Phyre Phryday Vlog.

So, I’m trying to get my momentum back.

To start, Phyre Dojo shows you how to MILL 2 Half-Rounds of a tree that I had to take down due to BLACK KNOT FUNGUS (Dibotryon Morbosum), into Boards. This Video is PART 1 which deals with the MILLING of the wood. PART 2 will deal with the creation of turning them into an (ED) Egyptian Dill Set.

This particular PLUM is a “THUNDERCLOUD” (Prunus Cerasifera) variation. It is NOT a domestic Plum Tree (Prunus Domestica).

PURPLE-LEAVED “THUNDERCLOUD” PLUM (Prunus Cerasifera):

THEN, as promised, I am RELEASING PHYRE DOJO’s ONLINE COURSE CONTENT: the HIDEN DENKI DENSHO, into the wild to roam free….

Here are Sections 001, the INTRO & DISCLAIMER, and Section 002, About the HDD.

Again, there are 46 Sections (currently) and I will be releasing these Sections every week until JULY 2022.

PLUM (Prunus Cerasifera) has an approximate JANKA HARDNESS of 1,550. This rating is (obviously) too hard/dense for a regular, standard (BD) Bow Drill, so the next (obvious) method is (ED) Egyptian Drill.

FOR COMPARISON: ( Atlantic White Cedar (Chamaecyparis Thoyoides) OR Western Red Cedar (Thuja Plicata) (i.e. “Your Cedar (BD) Bow Drill“) are ONLY Janka Hardness Rated: 350…)
