Titebond 3 Will probably work , if you remove the oil in the pieces.

It’s ok Richard , I didn’t understand that “Sosrry” word and It’s not in the dictionary.
Not a conspiracy theory , just a good understanding of home -boy “ my Grampa says the wood around here is the best, I don’t like
green wood ….when I want GREEN I USE PAINT”. Lot of “...
I think a number of woods are played down to boost sales of other woods more expensive. I trust what I’ve seen more than some of the
books, and I think that’s the way of many. That makes for...
Green (in color) poplar is pretty durable. Used a lot of it in employments making stuff for exterior use. Some contractors doing
high grade work, will ask for it , much better than some more...
It’s possible that it might have some sap edges. But I haven’t heard or read about defects. Redwood is soft , I’ve seen it cursed and
thrown out ‘cuz people didn’t know it was so soft. But….when...
Ipe is real good. I have an Ipe deck , don’t remember when I made it. Probably at least 20 years ago. But I wouldn’t put one deck over
another one without the upper one sloped and covered with...
Plywood, covered with light canvas glued down with Titebond 2 or 3 . I prefer 2. Paint it , it will last . Nothing new, goes back to

Lot of them were cut up to make newer stuff.
I have worked in big mills with a lot of stock ,some keep air dried because people ask for it.

Seen a lot of drawers with wood strips on low side . I think they were scared to make the drawers too tight .
But, was it kiln dried ? Or just air dried ? Some don’t like kiln dried because the color is not as good as air dried.
I think they just want you to enjoy the experience ! They follow Martha Stewart’s guidance. Lightning might be a reason, too.
I’ve worked with old timers who always worked with air dried walnut. I haven’t forgotten that, because they were always talking about it.
They never left out the, “ Kiln dried doesn’t have the good...
I had an MRI just ,maybe two weeks ago. They were looking for bad stuff ! Why can’t people be more upbeat ? I’m old and

MORE great stuff ! Mike , I think some have fixed that ‘kickback’ by drilling a hole in the back of the case, That makes for air
