    Looking for fresh sawn oak in Northern Virginia

    Thanks. I'm about 5 miles from DC so that's a little far. Although I know I will more than likely have to drive at least 30 minutes out I'm sure.

    Coloring pores in oak or ash

    I dyed a piece of ash using transtint in alcohol. The Homestead website mentions the dye not getting in the pores when transtint is used with water, but I am having the same problem, to a lesser extent, when using it with alcohol. I have been reading up on how to deal with this and have found...

    Wood bleach

    I picked some of the bleach from Sherwin Williams today. I tried a little bit out on a scrap and wasn't impressed. I guess I will need to do several coats. It is only about 30 board feet that was mildewed, but with the shipping and paying to have it sanded down to 1/8" I have about $100 in it...

    Wood bleach

    Thanks. The boards I'm talking about are actually ash too. The other thing I'm worried about is staining after hopefully getting rid of the mildew. I think fungus can actually change the structure of the wood so it absorbs the stain differently.

    Wood bleach

    The product I make requires me to steambend 11" to 16" wide boards, which are hard for me to find locally. I found a guy with a smaller sawmill in Wisconsin who gets urban logs and has shipped me a couple dozen 1/4" thick boards. The first batch I put on stickers and air dried, they turned out...

    Thicknessing boards too wide for the planer

    This is what I am making, by the way. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qt0IvLT6fms/TqyqmNVCIHI/AAAAAAAAAGE/kgz2JRNPNi4/s1600/P1010446.JPG The one on the right I made. The one on the left is a drum from the early 1800s. The reason I want to use green wood is it bends easier.

    Thicknessing boards too wide for the planer

    I wish I had one. Would it be crazy to try to rent a floor sander and use that? Would the green wood clog up the paper?

    Thicknessing boards too wide for the planer

    I have some 1/4" x 15" x 60" boards I need to plane down to 1/8". This is fresh cut green lumber. I am guessing removing 1/8" with a hand plane would be a lot of work on a piece this big. Anyone ever try something like this with an electric hand plane, or is there a better way? Thanks for any...
