Haven't posted up here in flat land for awhile, since faling down in the spinning crowd. Kind of like that old commercial.... Help, I've fallen down and can't get up :eek:
Anyhow, now for my really dumb question. My wife found some plans for a woodpecker bird house and is after me to build a couple to place around the property. It calls for cedar and that is no problem as HD just down the road has plenty. The problem comes in when I see that these WP birds need the sides to be rough both inside and outside the box. Since the stock at the borg always has one side milled and sanded smooth, how can I rough that side back up? I was thinking maybe a belt sander with 40 grit against the grain or something wild along those lines. Before I start, I thought I'd see if anyone maybe has a better and easier idea.
Okay... there is your dumb question of the week. Now y'all go easy as my head spins easy from hanging out with that turner crowd too much. :)
