    Dining room carver chairs - Take 2

    Thread Starter: Derek Cohen

    About a month ago I began a thread about designing and building two carver chairs to accompany the 6 bentwood chairs we have owned for the past 40 years. The chairs were purchased all those years ago along with a table, which is around 200 years old. We need a larger table, and time has come to...

    Economics of milling vs store bought hardwoods?

    Thread Starter: Nick Crivello

    I'm pondering the economics of a mill vs buying rough lumber at retail/wholesale. In the Bay Area, depending on where you shop hardwoods like Oak and walnut can run up to $15-18bf/ft, or more for the rift/quarter sawn stuff.

    Osage Orange
