    I'm planning to edge my landscaped areas with 1 x 4 on edge set in the ground, and staked as needed. Seen it done with pressure treated and I guess I can go to the BORG and follow that route. Interested in if anyone here can suggest other woods and most important source for alternatives. Cedar...

    Looking for a a wood selection to complement lacewood veneer work

    Working on a commission piece for someone who wants the panels veneered with lacewood. I don't want to do the edges of the top or any of the trim in lacewood as it would be way too much, so I'm looking for a combination to match well. Final finish will be dark, if not ebonized, so long as...

    Anyone tried drying wood in a microwave?

    I have a Black (Wild) Cherry tree that just came down. Thinking of trying to use some to build a Ukulele. Anyway, I plan to try and split or saw off some thin slabs, and if that works then sticker and weight them down. Small enough to keep inside on a shelf. Plan to melt wax over the ends...

    2fer Wood Gloat!

    The reason this ends up being a 2fer gloat is because several weeks back, just after buying my HF lathe, the Winston-Salem CL had a post for some free cypress so I got a pickup load, but didn't post it because my skills were close to zero... in other words, if I could not put it to good use then...

    Cutting a spline in a long piece of wood

    I am building a patio table and ran into the issue where the 45degree joints at each end of the table just do not seem to have much strength. I was thinking of cutting a spline for the corners but two of the boards are about 87" long and would be hard to hold on a table saw to cut the spline...

    Wood lives & breathes revisited

    Made this guestboard table late last winter. Not surprised, but thought it'd be useful to share the observation. The table is 42" wide and made from 9" wide reclaimed heartwood pine (i.e., longleaf). In the door last winter it was 6% MC. We've had the AC off for about 2 weeks so plenty of...
