Steve and Prashun thanks for the advice. I am going to woodcraft this morning and get both Transtint and Transfast to try. I have just purchased an Apollo 4 spray gun and used this for the Garnet...

I am having problems finishing a cherry desk and cabinets for my wife. Let me first state that I am a total novice when it comes to finishing. The top for the desk is bubinga. I used EM8000 for the...

The last time i had a large slab 12' x 40" I called around and found someone with a belt sander. For $90 it was flat and I wasn't even breathing hard. I am making a mesquite coffee table now and am...

I hope you find one. I will be watching. Mine just started coming unglued.

Thanks its commercial veneer.

I am making some thick 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" legs. I tried using a lock miter bit and 6/4 cherry. Most of the legs came out ok but a couple need help. I decided to use cherry veneer over them. They came...

Now that's a new design. I love it.

Brian you are right on about the live edge. I have spent some time searching the net and I see what you mean. I will remove the live edge and use a router bit to give me a nicer edge. Thanks for...

Thanks for the comments. The live edge is on one side only. This will go towards the front of the desk. The bubinga is 12 feet long. I plan on using 7 feet for the top of the desk and about 4-5 feet...

That's a great design and I like the finish.

Thanks for all the nice comments. The best thing is my dad really likes them.

These are bedside drawers I made for my dad this year. They are walnut with clairo walnut fronts. These are the hardest pieces I've made so far. I am now making a large dresser to go with them. It's...

I thank everyone for your opinions. I reread my original post and I only have one wife it just seems like theres more than one sometimes. I am still completely lost on this issue. I am going to call...

I'm going to make a desk for my wives new office. I have purchased a bubinga slab. I am almost finished the the planes for the desk but now I'm worried about the color for the desk wood. Water fall...

You might try looking on the Wood Wisperers web site. He made something almost like this.

Thanks for the help everyone. I did not make it clear that what you are seeing is just the drawer fronts sitting in the openings. I have not made the drawers yet. After I get the drawers made I think...

Hoping for some words of wisdom. I had trouble with my glue up. One corner of the draw opening came out 1/16" higher than the other. Is there any good way to fix this? I don't see away of adding wood...

I thought that the EM6000 was a harder finish. If the Arm-R Seal is better I will just use that. Thanks for all the info.

Thanks Jim & Matt I was guessing I might need to use shellac. Another trip to woodcraft.

I am building a bookcase for my dad. It is african mahogany and curly maple. The maple panels for the sides I've finished with Arm-R-Seal before I glued up the sides. They look great. The mahogany...

I am a member of the Wood Whisper for the last couple years. As a newbie I was looking for instruction on all things wood working. I've went to a couple wood working schools for one week classes....

Thanks everybody I think I will play with the epoxy and coloring. Should I put the epoxy in after the wood has been prepared and right before finishing or right at the beginning? I am worried about...

I have some walnut that I was going to use for a box I am building. When I ran it through the planer today I found a lot of voids. I am guessing this may have happened in the drying. Is there a way...

Your right it was a better deal before the sale. They say it is like new condition and I sure would like to save $1000. The question is how to tell if it is in like new condition?

I am going to look at a G9860ZX jointer tomorrow. I would appreciate help in knowing what to look for. The jointer is about 5 years old. It is on consignment in phoenix. I am taking some figured...
