Podcasts about white oak

In this Formation Conversation, longtime White Oak member David Wilmore shares his story of faith through significant hardships. Diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, amyloidosis, and leukemia, David's journey is one of resilience, deep faith, and a heart set on glorifying God. David has been a part of White Oak Christian Church for over 45 years—serving as an elder, Adult Bible Fellowship teacher, missions advocate, prayer warrior, and a friend to many. His commitment to Scripture, spiritual mentoring, and joyful service has touched countless lives in our church and around the world. Even now, facing another stem cell transplant, David continues to worship, serve, and speak of God's goodness. His testimony reveals how God forms us—not in spite of hardship—but through it.

On this episode, we are joined by Will and Jenni Harris from White Oak Pastures, which may very well be the original and very first regenerative brand. White Oak Pastures is a 160-year-old, zero-waste, regenerative farm that raises 10 species of animals living in symbiotic relationships with each other and the land. Starting in 1995, the farm transitioned away from industrial agriculture techniques and began operating their farm as a living ecosystem.  As a brand, White Oak has been a pioneer in American grass-fed beef production, selling both Publix and Whole Foods their first domestic-supplied grass-fed beef over a decade ago. Today, White Oak operates a myriad of businesses at their home ranch in Bluffton, Georgia with a team of 160 people and their products are sought out by customers in 48 of the 50 states. In this episode, Will shares his journey from industrial cattleman to regenerative innovator, Jenni details how the business has shifted from grocery to e-commerce, and both of our guests share their story with their trademark transparency, humility, and Southern charm. Will and Jenni highlight the need for consumer-driven change in agriculture, Jenni shares how being on The Joe Rogan Experience has affected their business, and Will takes us behind the scenes of producing his book, A Bold Return To Giving A Damn.

This week, we're diving into the world of pizza with Josh Sickels, owner of Rockaway Pizzeria. Josh's journey into pizza-making began in 2016, and just one year later, he opened the first Rockaway location in White Oak. Known for his unique spin on classic New York-style slices, Josh quickly earned a reputation as one of the area's top pizzerias. Before pizza, Josh's life was much different. He spent the majority of his life focusing on music. He will be the first to tell you that he is a musician at heart, and a pizza maker second. In this episode, we chat about his music career, touring the country, the inspiration behind starting Rockaway, and how he built a reputation in the pizza world that caught the attention of Barstool's David Portnoy.

We have officially reached the beginning of the end as we start the Appomattox Campaign. First, we take a look at the small battle of Spanish Fort in Alabama on March 27th- April 8th, 1865 where Union forces attempt to take the fort.  The Appomattox Campaign begins with the battle of Lewis's Farm on March 29th as the Union works to dislodge the Confederate lines at Petersburg and Richmond. This leads us directly into the simultaneous battles of White Oak Road and Dinwiddie Court House on March 31st and the Confederate chances of winning the war are all but over.  Subscribe to our YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@bangdangnetwork

Feed trees can play a major role in daylight activity on your property. Join us this week as Alan and Brady dive into the tactics to have success hunting over feed trees. In this episode we break down our favorite feed trees, and talk about where to find them, when to find them, and how to hunt them. We discuss the differences between red oak vs. white oak. The timing of when certain trees can be targeted, and what to look for on your property. Having knowledge of the property, and history with deer on the property can take the guesswork out of finding the right tree to hunt. Feed trees aren't just for early season hunting. This buck was killed using historical data, and feed tree tactics in November.

This week I feature the Tamo Ash, Fraxinus mandshurica. It is a species of Ash primarily sought for the unique "peanut" figure. Like a lot of figured woods it is not totally understood how the figure is formed but proper use of the whole tree must be considered for the health of the species. Also talk about ray fleck in White Oak and drying wood. Is there an ideal environment for drying and preventing bugs in your woods?

The crew has a coversation around Wood, Barrels and Sustainability of White Oak. How does this affect the industry? Will there be changes? Or will we be just fine, because younger people will rebel like earlier generations did?

Is bourbon a forest product? Most of the flavor of bourbon comes from the wooden barrel it's aged in. By law, bourbon must be aged in a new charred white oak barrel, but like with all oaks, regenerating white oak is becoming increasingly challenging. Fortunately, industry has taken notice and has formed the White Oak Initiative, a diffuse group of stakeholders ranging from academics, industry professionals, and government, to head off this issue and bring white oak regeneration back to our eastern woods. On this week's episode of The Hardy Woods Podcast, we talk to Dr. Jeffery Stringer of the University of Kentucky to talk about white oak's role in landscape and what it means for the wine and spirits industry.

Nick Schiffer discusses the progress of 45 White Oak, detailing solutions to delays, plans for high performance features like insulation and windows, and sourcing of materials like white oak.

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions I have a question for you about glueing up table aprons. And I'm mostly referring to large dining tables. The aprons I'm making are generally w 8/4 stock roughly 4” width. I can manage to get the legs and the aprons milled and cut square. All my joinery is w dominoes. Whenever I do the glue up everything is slightly out out square despite everything being square prior to glue up . I have pipe clamps and parallel clamps and have tried both. For some reason I can't get the clamping pressure or positioning right. Any tips would be appreciated. Bryan Hello everyone, Wanted your advice on dados and what I may be doing wrong. When I cut the dado and mating piece I make sure to get a good tight fit during the dry fit. My issue comes up when I'm sanding. I'll take all the pieces apart and sand them to the desired sand grit (180 or 220 depending on finish). But when I go to glue up my mating piece is now loose in the dado. Should I be making the dado smaller, should I just wait to sand till it's all glued up or do you have any other advice? Thanks, Paul at Twin Lakes Workshop Guys Questions I have listened to all your podcasts and have very much enjoyed and learned from them. I listen to primarily three woodworking podcasts and Woodshop Life is far and away the best. I have to confess I am a wood hoarder. I do a lot of small projects (scroll saw, boxes, and the like) and end up with small pieces left over that should be good for something. But how do I organize them and what size is too small, in your opinion, to be useful? The same applies to pieces left over after building furniture or other large projects? Do I just throw everything in the burn pile or is there a logical way to sort and store small pieces of lumber? And one small criticism: need to update the website with Brian's information since he is officially part of the podcast. Roger Martin Hey there fellas! I'm with a small furniture and cabinet shop called Silt Studio in Atlanta. Love the podcast and the great wealth of knowledge you guys bring to the world of woodworking. Guy, don't let anybody tell you you're wrong, they're never right. I have a question about the relevance of our table saw. It's a Powermatic PM2000 (I know guy loves his)with a 5x5 outfeed and a 36” rail extension. It's really been a great workhorse for our shop. The space is about 3000 sq ft and we are quickly outgrowing the footprint for the amount of kitchen and cabinet jobs we're taking on. There are also columns on a 9'x 14' grid pattern so the space isn't wide open.  We're talking about getting a large slider to facilitate speedier and more accurate square cuts. Currently we're ripping down sheetgoods with our festool track saw then finishing on the table saw. If we get a slider, a large chunk of our milling/cutting space would be taken up. Is it worth keeping the powermatic and just losing the outfeed to save space  or can we do everything we need to on the slider? We're considering the laguna 12/8 model slider. Looking forward to your thoughts! Thanks so much, Sam Huy's Questions: Hello gentlemen. Great woodworking podcast. I am in the market for a drum sander. Currently I have a Jet 22-44. It is a love/hate relationship with all the known issues. The budget would be around 2,000-3,000. I was thinking arbor open ended powermatic 22-44 o it would be better to get Grizzly 24 or 24, or something similar that is closed ended. Also would you recommend single or double. What about finding bigger 37” or a similar from shops liquidations. I know there is wiring and things like that. I have a hobby workshop with some 220 equipment. Like I mentioned it is a hobby now maybe it will grow may it will not. I originally got the openeded sander hoping that I can send wider boards (stupidly table tops) but obviously it is not as easy as it would seems to be. I do not know if that helped on made my question more murky. Sometimes there a good deals on Facebook Marketplace place but those deals do not last long and you need to be ready. There was Grizzly G1066R for $1,300 and now I regret not buying it. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you. Derek Question for the podcast: When using white oak for trim, what fasteners can I use that won't cause the tannins in the white oak to react to the metal of the fasteners? Thanks guys. Jay

In this episode of The White Oak Collective, we have a true turkey hunting legend in the studio. Preston Pittman joins us to tell some stories of the early calling days, getting started in calling, and many other things. Jack Dudley, Austin's grandfather, mentored Preston and got him started in competitive calling. We get some great stories out of that and many that even Austin had never heard. If you love turkey hunting, then you know Preston Pittman, but we hope some of these stories may be some you have never heard before. As always this podcast is brought to you by White Oak Properties.

The barrel is a magical component to the creation of bourbon and nearly 95% of all bourbon goes into white oak. But what's the problem with this? Bourbon can only be used in a charred barrel once. After that, it needs to find a new home. Now that may sound wasteful but the bourbon market is only a very small contributor to the current white oak problem. To help us better understand about forestry and the white oak supply I've invited Daana Baxley from the Nature Conservancy in Kentucky to join the show. She gives some great insight into the current state of white oak trees and what is currently being done to protect our forests. I've never known what it takes to manage forests and this episode will give you an insight into grading and how invasive species of trees continue to decline the white oak population. But more so, Daana gives us some insight if we will ever experience a white oak shortage in the future and what we can do to help protect it. Show Notes: Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about running out of old bourbon. What took you on a path to nature preservation? How are you able to achieve your mission without using scare tactics? Why is Appalachia so important? What does "protection" mean in the sense of a nature conservancy? What is the current status of the white oak species? What is the proper way to manage these forests? What does high grading mean? How has ash or maple impacted the population? How many years into the future are we looking at when we will see a big white oak problem? Is the bourbon industry a problem or is there another industry to blame? Do bourbon drinkers even care if there is sustainability practices happening? Do other industries join in conversation practices like the white oak initiative? Support this podcast on Patreon

If you're a whiskey enthusiast, you are probably aware of a lesser-known federal law that requires all bourbon (an American whiskey) to be aged in a “charred new oak container." And those containers or casks are made almost exclusively from white oak (Quercus alba). But white oak has been popular long before the recent rise in whiskey-sipping Gen Xers! It is simply hard to overstate the importance of this tree species to forest products, wildlife habitat, and ecosystem services. In fact, stakeholders from across eastern North America have joined forces to promote the long-term sustainability of white oak forests through the White Oak Initiative. In this episode of SilviCast, we talk​ with one of the White Oak Initiative founders, Dr. Jeff Stringer, chair of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources at the University of Kentucky, about this critical tree species and the efforts to sustain it. ​
