    Novice - Where to get wood

    I've found my self relying on the BORG's to get lumber. As you all know their lumber selection is limited, for instance I've only found two home depots that carry Maple and the stock they carry is often warped....no good. I've gone to Woodcraft & Klingspor's and their S4S stock is wicked...

    What are the right tools?

    I am very new to this site and woodworking in general. I find it quite relaxing hang out in the garage and toil, however I have literally no clue what I'm doing. I've been buying tools over the last few months (Table saw, compound mitre saw, biscuit jointer etc). I've been buying mostly...

    Novice question

    I am a beginning wood carver and have attempted a few projects. This is my latest...our family crest. It was carved from bass wood. As you can see there are some obvious "defects" particularly around the edges of the lion, leaves, etc. My question is how do I get the small crevices...

    Novice

    I'm a novice woodworker at best. I just started about a year ago when I realized that my job didn't give me a satisfaction of providing a finished product to look at. When that happens, it can get quite unfulfilling. So, one day I built my mom a curio cabinet and have been addicted ever since to...

    Logs to lumber from a novice.

    My first picture upload. Cool, I think? Hope you are able to pull them up. I could not figure out how to insert the actual image in the post. I wanted to post pictures of converting logs to lumber. I used advice I received on this forum to accomplish this task. The logs are white oak and red...
