    Thick walnut needed

    I could use some dry walnut - 22" long x 5.5" wide x 3.5" thick finished dimension for crest rails on DR chairs I'm making. Qty 8 needed. I realize it's a long shot but thought maybe somebody would have something since I can use short lengths. I have plenty of 8/4 walnut but the grain is...

    Source for 8/4 walnut - chair stock

    I need a few more boards for DR chairs. Been a year since I finished the table and someone that I live with here (no names given :nah:) thinks I should start making some progress. :gar-La; I probably need 3 more boards depending on width. AD would be fine so long as it is DRY. Chuck

    Early Christmas Gloat - Plane Box

    Mshel and I exchanged gifts today. When I unwrapped my gift I saw a beautiful box. I knew what would be inside before I opened it. A few years ago when I was visiting Mike at his shop he opened a drawer and took out a really nice box. When he opened the box I saw it was custom fit to hold his...

    Red Elm Tree Felled

    A friend of a neighbor came by today and limbed and felled my stricken elm tree. I didn't realize how much work it was to safely drop a tree. This elm had a pretty good spread. Peter limbed selectively to get the weight where he wanted it and remove any limbs that could get caught on a...

    Dying Tree I.D. - Is this an Elm?

    Found this limb down this morning. Looking closer the tree is missing a lot of leaves. Somehow I never noticed it was dying. The limb is pretty big. Cleanup will be a pain. I think I may need to bring down the entire tree unless there's a chance of saving it. I think it's an elm tree...

    My first Stanley No. 3

    Stanley No. 3 Type 16. Wood is gorgeous. A little bit of stain on the metal on one side but just cosmetic. Japanning is very good, maybe 95% plus. Blade is in great shape but had never been flattened. So, I flattened and honed the bevel on the DMT diamond hone, then WS 3k, then went to the...

    Wood and Finish for Outdoor furniture

    A co-worker has worked out his patterns for Adirondack chairs and asked me what type wood and finish to use. I don't have experience with outdoor stuff...was thinking white oak or cypress?? Finish = I don't know. What do you think? Also, he lives in Raleigh but doesn't have...

    Uncovered pith Section - How to fix?

    I uncovered a section of pith when I cut the oval into my rectangular table top glueup. :eusa_doh: Here's a pic. The pith area is the round one near the center of the pic. The other light colored areas are just the rough edge from the jigsaw, I haven't shaved that area flat yet. I...
