    fair price for walnut slabs?

    Hi all, I've got a hoard of large walnut slabs that have been air drying for about three years now. The nicer sticks are 26" x 2" x 10-12'. A few folks have reached out about taking some off my hands, and I'm wondering what a fair price might be. Do I go by market board footage rates for...

    Preferred finish for patio furniture

    I'm going to build a few benches and tables for our deck. It'll be my first attempt at pieces that will need to withstand the full brunt of the elements. I'd be grateful for any tips on durable outdoor finishes, number of coats, and any other wisdom on the subject. Many thanks.

    Cleaning up glue squeeze out

    Hi All, So I just slapped a coat of finish on a maple tabletop, disclosing a horror show of ghost glue drabs. Sanded it down, tested the lines with denatured alcohol. Refinished. All's well. But it got me thinking: I probably need to refine my process on cleaning up squeeze-out. Obviously...

    Anyone want a free, nonfunctioning SCMS before I take it to the landfill?

    Perhaps you've got the knowhow to bring this thing back to life (it's not the brushes; I tried that). Or it's a parts-saw. Or a heavy-duty paperweight. Or a canoe anchor. Dream large! Anyway, if you want it, I'm between Durham and Chapel Hill.
