I’ve started a project using Brazilian Tigerwood flooring left over from when I built my house about 8 years ago. It machines OK and it’s good to work with something other than the SPF I’ve been using for some utility type projects. I plan to try some corner splines for the first time.
Here’s my question. Are there any gotchas with selecting the wood for the spline? I don’t put finishing the project into the essential category, so I’m reluctant to head out to buy any. I plan to use what I have on hand. Right now that's; Oak (probably red), Cedar, Pine, and of course the Tigerwood. Thanks for any advice!
Rest assured. I am taking pics and will post when done.
