A fourth generation CPA walked away from a large accounting firm to take over a 104 year old Texas lumber distributor, and the first thing he protected was not the balance sheet. In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Michael Friedrichsen, general manager of Roddis Lumber in San Antonio. Michael grew up around the family business, spent one college summer running a forklift in the warehouse, then went off for a master's in accounting and a CPA license. When his dad retired in December 2023, he stepped in alongside his cousin, the company president, right as the post COVID lumber market started cooling off. You'll hear how a single branch, thirty person company keeps a family atmosphere while running a fleet, a hardwood distribution operation, and a separate door shop that pre-hangs doors and trim packages for custom home builders. Michael talks about why so many employees are still there thirteen years after he worked beside them, and what his finance background actually gave him when bids slowed and lead times got unpredictable. Jennifer and Michael also get into the sourcing side: why his hardwood comes from out of state mills chosen for color and consistency, how paint grade, white oak, and walnut are moving in the Texas market, why import plywood dominates cabinet carcasses, and the rule that drives his inventory decisions, which is that if you don't have it, you hand the customer a reason to walk down the street. The conversation closes on urban and reclaimed lumber, LEED specification, and whether a distributor his size could add an urban wood line before the rest of the industry catches up.

At 41 years old, with no woodworking background and tools made from hot-glued blocks of wood, Craig Hedges won a YouTube scholarship that changed the trajectory of his entire family's life. In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Craig Hedges, the new owner of Goliath Hardwoods in Evansville, Indiana. Craig's story starts with a $250 check from a YouTube woodworker's scholarship fund, a circular saw, a jigsaw, and a drill. What began with cornhole boards made alongside his wife and four kids eventually grew into pen turning, laser engraving, craft shows, and ultimately the purchase of a nearly 30-year-old hardwood retail business that was days away from closing its doors forever. You'll hear about how Craig and his family funded a trip to Disney World entirely from cornhole board sales, and the car ride home where the kids declared they were done making them. You'll hear about how he discovered Goliath Hardwoods as a customer, watched the sale fall through multiple times with other buyers, and negotiated an owner-financed deal that let the business pay for itself from day one. Craig also shares how he inherited a loyal customer base, kept the existing staff, and immediately went to work building a social media presence from scratch with his son Ian behind the camera. You'll also hear about the incredible historic restoration project that landed on Craig's doorstep, resurfacing 130-plus-year-old flooring from the old Cargis building to be installed in 121 new apartments. Craig talks about his plans to create custom wood urns with military branch scroll work for local funeral homes, his vision for a dedicated maker space, and the heartwarming story of helping a pair of newlyweds build their first dining table in his shop. Jennifer and Craig also dig into sourcing strategies for small retailers, from Facebook Marketplace finds to building relationships with larger local suppliers, and how to use social media to stop the scroll and find the wood you need.

In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Bob Kloes and Matt Schmitz of Kloes Specialty Hardwoods, a Wisconsin-based business specializing in curly maple, bird's eye maple, flame birch, and other figured hardwoods. What started as Bob's lifelong passion for custom furniture evolved into a lumber business when his wife suggested he start selling the stunning figured woods he had been sourcing for decades. Now, with Matt at the helm after purchasing the business, the two share a partnership built on mentorship, shared passion, and an unwavering commitment to quality. You'll hear about how Bob built relationships with sawmills over 20 years and developed an expert eye for selecting figured wood in the rough. You'll hear about the process of buying green lumber, working with a neighboring vacuum kiln operation, and sorting material by species, figure density, and customer specs for everyone from furniture makers to guitar builders and pool cue craftsmen. Bob and Matt also get honest about the challenges of marketing a niche product, navigating social media algorithms, and the real cost of shipping in today's market. You'll also hear about Matt's journey from federal government career to business owner, how a summer sales slump nearly broke his confidence, and why having a built-in mentor made all the difference. Bob shares stories from his furniture-making days, including secret compartments, his "high country style" designs, and why he believes in over-delivering on every order. The conversation also touches on the declining availability of bird's eye maple, the puzzling drop in cherry prices, and the broader challenges facing the domestic hardwood industry. Whether you're a woodworker searching for the best figured hardwoods, a small business owner navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, or someone who appreciates the art of letting natural wood speak for itself, this episode is for you.

On today's episode I sit down with my good friend Brian Thacker of Virginia for one of the deeper conversations we've had. Brian is a guy I've got a ton of respect for, not just because of his success in the woods or the caliber of deer he's killed, but because of the perspective, wisdom, and mindset he's built over the years.We dive into how hunting and life changes as you get older, what shifted his mindset from simply chasing big deer to truly appreciating the process. How he's learned to find joy in the woods no matter the outcome. We also talk about handling failure, staying positive through tough seasons, and the life lessons hunting has taught him along the way. This episode goes far beyond antlers and harvest photos it's about growth, perspective, and what really keeps us coming back to the woods year after year.
Season four is officially here and the guys are kicking things off in the best way they know how — a little food talk, a lot of woodworking problem solving, a full round of rapid fire trivia, and some genuinely useful shop and business tips sprinkled in for good measure.The guys open with the new season four title theme, which is TV show names, and they could not have picked a better opener than Desperate Hardwoods. Things get comfortable fast with a crockpot recipe conversation that includes Ross pulling up his bourbon bacon baked beans recipe live on the podcast, Colton reminiscing about bachelor cooking survival mode, and Jess drawing a hard line in the sand against baked beans entirely. The white chicken chili and buffalo chicken dip crowd will feel very seen.The real meat of the episode is a full woodworking consult where Jess walks Ross and Colton through a seriously complex ten foot soft maple table build with serpentine ends, tapered angled legs that kick out one degree in both directions, and the question of how to get the aprons to land cleanly against a conical leg. Ross comes in with the key insight of scribing and notching into the back of the leg rather than trying to shape the apron to meet it, which Jess admits he never would have thought of on his own. There is also a solid conversation about internal cross bracing strategy for a table that long, and why notching and interlocking beats pocket screws every single time.After the build talk the guys cover the Graco Ultra QuickShot airless sprayer. It runs on a standard Dewalt battery, barely drinks power on a full day of spraying cabinet enamel, and the low pressure tips mean almost no overspray. Ross also explains the grounding wire mystery, which has everything to do with static discharge.Then it is trivia time covering questions from previous episodes including what hardwood baseball bats are traditionally made from, what MDF stands for, the Japanese wood charring technique Shou Sugi Ban, and what Lignin actually is and why it matters for steam bending. Colton takes the season win at 25,902 to Ross at 23,099. The circular saw inventor Tabitha Babbitt gets her moment, invasive buckthorn turns out to be workable hardwood, and the African wood Iroko somehow leads to a Woody Allen detour nobody was ready for.The snugits at the end are worth sticking around for. Jess breaks down BannerBuzz.com for vehicle decals, sharing how he wrapped his dumpsters for around twelve hundred dollars with full color outdoor graphics that would have run six thousand through a traditional sign shop. Colton makes the case for carrying two mechanical pencils with different lead widths in your apron. Ross rounds it out with the FastCap Pro Carpenter tape measure, which has a built in pencil sharpener and a dry erase side panel for writing measurements before you lose them walking back to the saw.Season four is off to a strong start. New episodes, shorter run times, and the same three guys who clearly enjoy giving each other a hard time while actually knowing what they are talking about.Find more at BeatAroundTheBench.com and follow Jess, Colton, and Ross on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.Tags: woodworking podcast, Beat Around the Bench, season four, serpentine table build, tapered table legs, soft maple table, @Graco QuickShot sprayer, Shou Sugi Ban, Janka hardness rating, woodworking trivia, BannerBuzz decals, FastCap tape measure, woodworking tips, furniture building, woodworking podcast 2025, JessBuildIt, ColtCrit, R&C Woodworking
This segment is titled: The Hidden Dangers Lurking on Your Kitchen Cutting BoardIt's a busy weeknight, and you're making a quick stir-fry. You cut raw chicken on your cutting board, rinse it quickly, then chop fresh vegetables on the same surface. While this might seem efficient, it can let bacteria sneak into your meal, turning a healthy dinner into a problem. Cutting boards, whether wood or plastic, are a leading cause of foodborne illnesses at home, spreading germs through cross-contamination and buildup. The good news is that by learning about these risks and following a few simple habits, you can keep your meals safe and your family healthy.Let's look at why cutting boards pose such a threat. At their core, these tools are battlegrounds for bacteria. When you cut raw meat, poultry, or seafood, juices containing pathogens such as Salmonella or E. coli seep onto the surface of the board. These bacteria can transfer to other foods if the board isn't properly handled, leading to cross-contamination, in which harmful microbes jump from contaminated items to ready-to-eat foods like salads or bread. Picture slicing a tomato right after handling chicken; the bacteria hitch a ride, and your fresh produce becomes a vector for illness.The type of cutting board you use matters. Plastic boards are easy to clean, but over time, knife cuts create grooves where bacteria can hide from soap. Wooden boards, especially softer woods like cypress, can split and form cracks that trap germs. Hardwoods like maple are better because their tight grain can pull in fluids and help kill bacteria as the board dries. A 2018 study found that bacteria stick more to wood and plastic boards than to glass, so the material affects how long germs survive. Bamboo boards are strong but still need regular care to avoid moisture and mold. Besides bacteria, cutting boards can also collect other harmful germs like Listeria, which can stay on surfaces, and Campylobacter from raw poultry, which spreads easily. In poorly cleaned areas, boards can harbor many types of germs and quietly spread illness.Cross-contamination isn't the only problem. Handling food the wrong way can make things worse. Washing raw meat in the sink might seem clean, but it actually spreads bacteria to your board, sink, and counters. Using the same board for different foods without cleaning it well lets fats, proteins, and juices build up, which helps bacteria grow. If your board is cracked, chipped, or has deep grooves, it's a warning sign. These spots can trap bacteria that survive even after washing, leading to foodborne illness. Research shows that without proper cleaning, cutting boards can stay contaminated for hours or even days.Here's the good news: you can avoid these problems with a few simple habits. Start by using separate cutting boards—one just for raw meats, poultry, and seafood, and another for fruits, vegetables, bread, and cooked foods. Keeping them separate greatly reduces the risk of cross-contamination. You can also color-code your boards, like using red for meat and green for produce, to make it easy to remember, especially if you share your kitchen.Cleaning your cutting board is the next important step. After each use, scrape off any leftover food with a spatula, then wash the board in hot, soapy water with a brush or sponge to reach any grooves. Rinse well to remove all soap. Sanitizing is also key to eliminating any remaining bacteria. For both wood and plastic boards, mix one tablespoon of unscented liquid chlorine bleach with a gallon of water, pour it over the board, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and let it air-dry. According to the FDA, washing your cutting boards and utensils with hot, soapy water after each use helps disinfect them and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.Read the Full Content HereChef Walters Food + Wine ToursChef Walters Cooking SchoolSimVal Media, USA

The conversation delves into the importance of evaluating landscapes, managing water resources, and integrating wildlife support systems. The guest, Ben Falk, shares insights on pond design, the role of animals in fertility, and the benefits of perennial crops, emphasizing a holistic approach to land stewardship. In this conversation, the speakers delve into various aspects of sustainable land management, focusing on tree management, the use of herbicides, the dynamics of invasive species, and the human impact on ecosystems. Jon Teater and Ben discuss the importance of working with nature rather than against it, emphasizing the long-term benefits of planting trees and fostering biodiversity. The conversation also touches on the mindset shifts necessary for effective land stewardship and the legacy that current practices can leave for future generations. takeaways Start your design with soil type and regional land use. Evaluate your property at a finer level for better management. Animal enrichment creates healthier wildlife environments. Water management is crucial for supporting life and habitats. Ponds provide multiple benefits, including recreation and wildlife support. Integrate trees and perennial crops for sustainable growth. Cows can enhance soil fertility through their natural behaviors. Thinning trees can promote better growth and health. Planting diverse species can create resilient ecosystems. Managing water resources can lead to new springs and groundwater recharge. Hardwoods can reset and manage tree populations effectively. Plums can be toxic to cattle, necessitating careful management. Nature's systems are inherently balanced and not making mistakes. Herbicides are often unnecessary; plants can manage themselves. Invasive species can be beneficial and should be understood, not eradicated. We are part of nature and can positively influence ecosystems. Planting trees is a long-term investment in the future. The act of planting trees can shift one's perspective on nature. Human impact on landscapes can create lasting legacies. Digital hygiene is important for health in a tech-driven world.

Morse Nursery's Tim Mills and National Land Realty agent Jacob Jenkins explain how to “row crop” hardwoods with proven genetics, tree tubes, and tight management to create reliable timber and wildlife results. From West Lafayette, Indiana, Morse grows grafted fruit and nut trees and supplies Tree Pro tubes that speed straight, tall growth. They cover black walnut and white oak veneer genetics, blight-resistant American hybrid chestnuts that bear in 3 to 5 years, planting densities of 100 to 125 trees per acre on 20-foot centers, and why weed control and pruning discipline make or break a planting. For hunters, they map staggered drop times across apples, persimmons, and chestnuts to hold deer after surrounding crops are harvested. For investors, Tim outlines chestnut orchard math at maturity around year 15, with 2,000 to 3,000 pounds per acre and common wholesale pricing near 4 dollars per pound, while guiding to a conservative target near 6,000 dollars per acre.

He offers plenty of great stories from the book with names we may have almost forgotten to some we may wish to forget. They get his takes on the current basketball team ahead of his appearance at the CLA this weekend for book signings. WR Coach Furrey is discussed, and what his impact could mean for the upcoming season and recruiting. Grayson Greiner joins the guys in the second hour to give his thoughts on the early baseball season, and they look at his grand slam moment against Clemson in 2014 as the best rivalry in baseball renews its yearly series this weekend. They wrap with more discussion on the basketball team and the very real scenarios that could have them ending up winning the SEC title.

In this episode of Timber University, we discuss natural regeneration methodology in hardwood systems. When biologically possible, natural regeneration is the cheapest option available to the forest landowner wishing to regenerate a hardwood stand. However, considerable footwork is usually necessary to employ these techniques.

Some people spend their whole lives wondering if they ever made a difference in the world. Brian Calvert does not have that problem. On this episode of the Houndsman XP Podcast Chris is joined by Brian Calvert and his better known and world famous Bluetick Dixie the Praying Dog. After a series of tragedies in his life Brian developed a plan to make a positive impact on the world. His plan included getting a Bluetick puppy, Dixie, to use as a multi purpose hound. He had plans to track some deer and do some local therapy work for veterans and Riley Children's Hospital. What happened next far exceeded those expectations. Dixie has been involved in multiple Honor Flights, flying U.S. Military veterans all over the US. She has recovered hundreds of deer for deer hunters and a few days later walked Hollywood Boulevard filming movies. She makes regular appearances at Children's Hospitals where she drives a scaled model of her Jeep, bringing smiles and comfort to parents and their children. Dixie and Brian appeared on the Amazon Prime Reality TV Challenge show called The Pack and quickly became a fan favorite. Brian and Dixie travelled around the world competing with other dog teams in multiple challenges. Dixie is no ordinary dog and Brian has found a higher calling for his Bluetick companion. Listeners will get a behind the scenes look at; what it is like to be involved in Hollywood production what it is like to spend every minute of every day for 54 days straight with a hound How Dixie is making a positive impact for houndsmen to the non hunting public How dixie is honoring America's heroes with Honor Flights, military funerals and service as a therapy dog Stay tuned folks, this one has it all, joy, humor, and tears.
