any m any species, which is kind of interesting.

I immediately thought, well these need to be hardwood.
voice-verified
But the more I got to looking into it, actually softwoods
voice-verified
as long as they're smooth are pretty good for climbing holds because they just have a different texture to the grain, which is what you actually touch and the kind of grip that you can get.
voice-verified
The shapes that you can get out of them are slightly different than uh what you would get out of hardwood.
voice-verified
You know, it has to maintain its whatever shape you carve into it.
voice-verified
with your weight on it.
voice-verified
the overhangs and stuff, pieces that stick out have to be hard wood.
voice-verified
But if you're doing
voice-verified
big, smooth, round shapes doing a softwood
voice-verified
works just as well because it's not gonna break, it's not gonna crack, there's no like sharp things to dig into it, to dent it, like you know, if you were using pine or something.
voice-verified
So it's been kinda interesting thinking through that.
voice-verified
And so the video was about basically I have a bunch of scrap wood of different species.
voice-verified
I want to try a few different methods to see like what is the the best method for me, tools to use, process to use to get a hold
voice-verified
out of it that is worth using on a climbing wall.
voice-verified
And so I did, you know, bandsaw work, I did rasps, I did
voice-verified
just sanding.
voice-verified
I did a like a grinder with a
voice-verified
ArborTech thing on it.
