I finally get to chime in with a wood gloat (a minor gloat but not bad).
Last evening there was an auction down the street at a furniture repair shop that was selling out. There were a lot of tools but not much I needed.
However, they did sell some wood. I bought a wall rack full of oak, walnut, a little maple and some hickory. By my calculations I got $65.00 worth of oak. $40 worth of walnut plus a few $$ worth of maple and hickory and some lesser woods like cedar and pine. All for $35.00
The best was 3- 4/4 oak boards. 2 were 10" wide X 8' long and 1 was a full 14" wide X 8' long. The walnut was several pieces 7-8" wide X 48" long. There were also some 8/4 walnut, oak, maple and hickory. Perfect for my duck and goose calls.
Now my Teak question... In the "pile" was also 1 piece of 4/4 Teak. 6" wide X 24" long. Exactly one board foot. I would like to cut this teak and face glue it into 8/4 turning squares. I think the teak would make some gorgeous duck calls. What's the best way to glue this oily teak? I would like to use epoxy because of its weather-proofness. Will epoxy work on this teak? Thanks for your help.
