    Weather resistant wood

    I built some exterior steps into my new shop. I used pressure treated pine for the framing, sapele for the risers and qs white oak from Scott for the treads. My building inspector was over today doing an insulation inspection and on his way out commented on my treads may not be up to code as...

    Any Finishing Tips for Cool Weather Finishing?

    I have a project ready for finishing, using Waterlox Original Sealer & Finisher. I am going to remove any dust by wiping the wood down with paint thinner. Since I have shop cats, who do not wander out of the shop, I will be doing using the thinner and finish outdoors. What is the lowest...

    UPDATE: Weather report [Bring a jacket! (WNC Fall Picnic)]

    UPDATE: We did not get down as low as expected. Temp here at home at 8:00 AM was 52 degrees and they are still predicting a high of only 63. Temps during most of the picnic should be around 60. We can also expect moderate breezes of around 13 mph. See you all there!

    BLO & Weather?

    I've finished building SWMBO a potting bench out of cypress. I like the look that BLO gives the cypress or any wood for that matter. My question is how weather resistant is it? The bench will be kept under a carport that is semi sheltered. However rain can blow under it in storms. It's not...

    Jatoba - how does it weather?

    I am considering using jatoba for the floor boards of the boat I am building. I know that is durable and hard, but can't seem to find much info about how it weathers. Anyone have any experience with it outside? Any problems with checking, cupping, or warping? Also, if I mill it to a...

    Severe Weather Alerts

    There is currently a thread running about last night's severe weather that affected a lot of us. I thought this would be a good time to remind folks about a service that WRAL offers for $8 a year. You give them your street address and if severe weather is headed your way they notify you via...

    Cold weather keeps delaying my projects

    My unheated shop is just too cold to allow me to stain and finish the table that I've been working on (or rather not working on) for months now. I was able to squeeze in a few days for glue-up a couple of weeks ago when the temperatures hovered in the 60s, but now I'm just waiting around again...

    Warm Weather = Shop Time

    Well, well, finally some decent weather and I took advantage of it this weekend.:banana: My big slab that I've been working has a couple of siblings that have been sitting in a wooden crate for quite some time. The ground finally dried out enough for me to get down there and retrieve them...

    Beech Weather Resistance??

    How does european beech do in the weather? Why do I ask? Well, my uncle has a large sail boat and wants to build some shelving for it this week (at my shop). Nothing fancy, but something that will stand up to life at sea. I don't think it would "exposed" outside to the weather, but rather in...

    Hide glue in cold weather....

    I'm new to using hide glue, good news is I can mix without too much trouble. My question, it seems to setup really quickly when I spread it. Pretty much before I can rub two bits of wood together (under 30 seconds). Is it due to the cold weather? Any suggestions on how to address its use...

    Weather Station #2

    Several weeks ago I made a weather station for my daughter in CT. I just completed another one for my other daughter in San Francisco. Same design as the first but using recycled longleaf/heart pine and a normal clock instead of a tide clock. Instruments and the plan which I modified are from...

    Walnut Weather Station Weekend Project

    This has been something that I have wanted for as long as I can remember. My grandparents had one on their wall and it was the thing that I wanted most when they passed away. I was not able to get it and that was OK. So on a trip to The Hardwood Store Of NC last weekend I bought a piece of...

    Cold weather cracks.

    I'll post this again this year for the newbies and the oldsters who have CRS, like myself. Got the first one of those painful little cracks in the end of my fingers last week. Actually, it was my thumb. Came home and cleaned area well with soap and water. Then dried it completely. Put a drop of...
