Material Experimentation: Modifying Wood to Behave Like Velcro
All you need is a fine gouge, some patience, and a flexible definition of success
There's no practical application I can see, but this was still fun to watch. Curious craftsman Kurahito wanted to see if he could turn wood into Velcro with a carefully-applied gouge.
Surprisingly, as you can see below he gets it to work on the first shot--with a caveat. (You can click on the CC button for English subtitles.)

I suppose Velcro that only works a few times isn't exactly a great use of the material. As for the toy idea he mentions, I hope the child playing with it has leathery hands!
