Hardcore Hardwood with coach Ken Potosnak 1-29 by Phil Kornblut, Chris Burgin, and Josh Cohen
Back in 2005, Hubert Davis became the very first Black Canadian to be nominated for an Academy Award. It was for his personal, moving documentary, Hardwood, which tells the story of his relationship with his father, Mel Davis, a former Harlem Globetrotter. Now, more than 20 years into his documentary filmmaking career, Hubert is making his first foray into narrative storytelling with his fictional feature debut, The Well. It's an eco-thriller that follows a family who are living in isolation and hiding a “secret supply of fresh water.” Their safety and relationships become tested when a wounded man arrives unexpectedly and discovers their resource. Hubert tells guest host Garvia Bailey why he wanted to tell this story. Plus, he reflects on two decades in Canada's film industry.

Standardization in the hardwood industry isn't just about measurements and grades. It's the foundation that enables fair trade, quality control, and growth across the entire wood supply chain. In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Dallin Brooks, Executive Director of the National Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA), to explore the history, role, and future of this essential industry organization. Dallin shares how the NHLA was founded to create standards that ensure quality and uniformity in wood products, and why those standards remain crucial for advocacy, quality control, and the success of hardwood businesses today. You'll hear about the significant challenges and opportunities facing the hardwood industry, including the impact of tariffs on domestic producers, the rise of urban wood as a mainstream complement to rural wood sourcing, and how thermal modification is expanding the outdoor applications of hardwoods. Dallin discusses the benefits of NHLA membership, from access to industry resources and education to networking opportunities and quality assurance programs. This conversation dives into the critical need for legislation that supports wood use and promotes sustainability, the importance of education and storytelling in advocating for the wood industry, and how telling the wood story can drive economic growth while highlighting environmental benefits. Whether you're a hardwood producer, lumber dealer, woodworker, or anyone involved in the supply chain, Dallin offers valuable insights on navigating industry challenges and positioning yourself for success.

Brock, Dawson and Hunter preview this year's Christmas Day games in the NBA.
Forester and timber consultant Kraig Moore (KY/TN) breaks down the 2025 hardwood landscape: prices up roughly 3% YoY overall (net flat after inflation), sharp species splits (yellow-poplar +~20%, sugar maple +20–30%, white oak −~11% YoY but +~52% over 5 years; walnut +~85% over 5 years), and fragile mill capacity after 100+ sawmill closures in two years. He explains how tariffs, China's historic pull for ~40% of U.S. lumber, and production shifting to Vietnam (labor ~⅓ cheaper than China) are reshaping demand. For landowners, the play is smart silviculture, competition-driven quality, patch clear-cuts/group selection, avoiding diameter-limit cuts, and aligning to mills within ~60–90 miles, to grow value and keep white oak (bourbon barrel essential) regenerating amid maple/beech pressure. Kentucky is ~50% forested, and with interest rates easing and housing starts improving, Kraig is cautiously bullish on hardwoods as a diversification pillar. Episode takeaways: Market snapshot: Hardwood prices ~+3% YoY overall (inflation-adjusted ≈ flat), with big winners (yellow-poplar, sugar maple) and laggards (hickory; white oak down YoY but strong 5-yr trend; walnut dominant long-term). Capacity risk: 100+ sawmills gone in two years; if demand pops, supply could choke, pushing prices up fast. Trade shift: China historically bought ~40% of U.S. lumber/logs; tariffs drove processing to Vietnam (labor ~⅓ cheaper than China), altering log vs. lumber economics. Profit strategy for landowners: Manage for competition (natural pruning/straightness), use patch clear-cuts/group selection, avoid diameter-limit cuts, and time sales to species cycles. Operational realities: Best ROI when mills are within ~60–90 miles; steep terrain or helicopter logging crush margins. White oak future: Main challenge is regeneration, not overharvest, control shade-tolerant maple/beech, open canopy on the right aspects, and keep foresters involved.

The New York Knicks are your 2025 NBA Cup Champions, but it seems like no one really is talking about it or cares. After three years of the NBA Cup, and with no signs of it going away, should the NBA look at what it can do to improve the popularity of its in-season tournament? Should the NBA move when the tournament is held during the season? Should the NBA Cup replace All-Star Weekend? Should the NBA consider changing the format of the tournament? Should the NBA add a bigger incentive for teams to compete for this championship? Brock, Dawson and Hunter give their thoughts on the tournament. They discuss what they like about the current version of the tournament and what they think the NBA should consider doing to make it a better and more popular product for basketball fans.

In this episode of Hort Culture, hosts Alexis, Brett, Jessica, and Ray welcome guest Chad Niman, Forest Product Specialist and Director at the Wood Utilization Center in Jackson, Kentucky.With cooler weather on the horizon, the crew kicks things off by sharing their favorite fall plants and fungi—before diving deep into the fascinating world of Kentucky's hardwoods. Chad walks listeners through the state's $19 billion hardwood industry, its role in sustainable building, and how species like yellow poplar, maple, sycamore, and sweet gum can support innovative products like flooring and cross-laminated timber panels.The conversation branches out to: The environmental and health advantages of real wood versus plastic-based building materials How wood residues like bark and sawdust could replace peat in horticultural media The surprising uses of wood flour in everything from animal bedding to food additives How traditional materials are being reimagined for modern construction and sustainabilityPlus, the team reflects on old-growth forests, changing design trends, and why connecting with natural materials just feels right.
Hold on to your hammers, folks! We've got a midweek special that's juicier than a ripe peach in July. Picture this: hardwood plywood and hardwood flooring are on the verge of being the next big stars on the import tariff hit list. Yes, you heard that right! A gaggle of big wigs from the decorative hardwoods industry are practically begging President Trump to slap those tariffs on. Why? Because imports are flooding in and taking over 80% of the U.S. market, forcing manufacturers like Roseburg Forest Products to close up shop. It's like watching a slow-motion train wreck, but with fewer explosions and more lumber. If you've got home improvement plans involving cabinetry or flooring, you might want to hit the panic button—this could mean price hikes and supply shortages are on the horizon. So, better stock up before your dream kitchen becomes a Pinterest fantasy! And speaking of dreams, let's dive into the chaotic world of corporate buyouts and market shifts. It's like a game of musical chairs, but instead of chairs, it's companies merging, buying out competitors, and leaving consumers to pick up the pieces. We're here to break it down for you because let's be honest, no one wants to be stuck with outdated specifications when the big names start changing their game. So, keep your eyes peeled and your wallets ready—who knows what could happen next?Lastly, if you're thinking about rain harvesting, brace yourself! It sounds eco-friendly and all, but if you mess up the setup, you could end up with a mini swimming pool in your basement. Trust me, I've seen it happen—water tanks too close to the house can crack your foundation faster than you can say “DIY disaster.” So, if you're going the rainwater route, grab a structural engineer and make sure that water is flowing away from your home, not straight into a costly renovation project. It's all fun and games until someone's basement turns into an indoor lake! Tune in for more wild tales and practical advice in this episode that's packed with enough information to keep you entertained and informed. Takeaways: The hardwood plywood and flooring might soon be under import tariffs, so brace yourselves! If you're planning on buying cabinetry or flooring, do it now before prices skyrocket. The hardwood market is in chaos with companies merging and buyouts happening left and right. Rain harvesting can be great, but placing tanks too close to your house? Bad idea.
