Turned from Curly Red Wood. This bowl has around 8 coats of spray deft lacquer satin right now. I will post some more pictures after it has had time to set and be buffed to a shine. The curl in this wood is unreal and it didn't move any as it dried. I did learn that redwood should not be turned...
OK guys' educate me. I'm going to try a strip canoe and everything I've seen calls foe western red cedr as the top choice of stripping. I'm guessing the difference in western and eastern cedar is the fewer knots in the western cedar? Is this correct? Also where do I find western cedar?
After...

So I'm reframing some artwork for my mother. She wants the frames dark to match the art. I've gone the route of steel wool/vinegar and I'm just not getting the depth I'm looking for.
My question(s) is:
-What would be the best way to get the red oak as close to black as possible (without...
I am looking for a quarter or half sheet of 1/8 inch red oak plywood. Is there a local source in Raleigh/Durham? I can go a 1/4 inch if I have too.

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...

Would some of you furniture builders, cabinet builders, please explain to me your preference for oak? What's the MAJOR thing that would make you sway one way or the other between red oak or white oak, assuming all things are fairly equal?
Thanx again!

Hi All, it's been a while since I've been here. I have a guy that wants me to mill some red and white oak stumps for him. I've never done that and was wondering,... what I'm in for and is it worth it?? I've thought about it but never done it.
