Hello all- sorry for the delay in responding. I was gone for a little bit. I just want to say thank you all for the compliments on the top and the suggestions on the base. I think I am going to leave...

Appreciate the suggestion. This is probably what I’m going to do. Work off the ends.

Hi- thanks for the reply. This "desk" will be used very minimal. Maybe a couple calls a week for a half hour where I have to put the laptop on it. If I worked from home or used it for a work desk...

I’m not in love with them either, for sure. But I am kind of stuck with them now. I tried them based off a recommendation. I’ll make something work with them.

Hi Dave- thanks for the follow up. That is a good idea, but I would like to keep both cabinets if possible. I may end up eliminating one like you said. I don’t want to mount it until my mind is made...

Hello all- This is probably a ridiculous newb question, but I'll fire away. I recently glued up a live edge desk top for my home. The length is 59", but I kept the natural edges. I am putting this on...

Hello,

I am attempting to use Osmo for the first time on a couple small river tables. I purchased the 1101 ultra thin wood wax finish and the 3011 polyx.

I have been reading some horror...

Joe,

Thank you very much for these pictures! I have some work ahead of me. The boards I looked at preliminarily seemed pretty flat. I picked up a couple samples. I guess we will see how it goes....

Thank you all for the very informative responses. I really appreciate all of the insight.

I am doing an indoor barn door, with only one side that will be exposed. Most of the reclaimed wood here...

Hello, I am looking to do my first project (door) with reclaimed lumber, and had a couple questions for people that have used it before. I am looking at some old barn wood in a brown board type...

Hello,

I am going to be finishing a black walnut river table soon and wanted to see if anyone had any experience in the differences of these finishes? I have done small tables before using Rubio...

Got ya. The checkerboard shows no lines at all that I can see.

I try to make sure that I can’t see any lines or very minimal lines when I put them together way before the glue. That’s why I...

I am not sure what I would have done differently. I have always done it the same way...

I mill the wood, rip, joint the glue sides one time, glue up, plane flat, cross cut sled, flip for end...

Thank you! I used a router sled after the second glue up on the end grain. From there I just sanded from 60-400.

I tried the CA glue and it was still too thin. I ended up mixing a little Titebond...

That’s exactly what I’m going to do. I have some medium Starbond black and Bob Smith clear. Gonna give it a shot.

Thank you for the suggestions. I am going to try a little Starbond medium mixed with some saw dust and see if I can fill it. I will have to try and sand down a very small area to get that wax and oil...

Hello all,I just finished up several end grain butcher blocks and no matter how many times I do them, something new comes up. I just wish all wood was perfect...ha!

I finished the boards using my...

Patrick, thank you very much for sharing your experiences. I should have listed it in the beginning, but the overall size isn't going to be that big. I am looking at 24-28" long by 18" wide and...

Hello, I am doing one of the largest end grain projects I have ever done and slightly concerned with the wood movement. I have read numerous previous posts, but I did not see any real definitive...

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your input. I ended up getting the Festool blades in 12-tooth and 28-tooth. I am hoping these will work a lot better. They arrive in the mail today.
...

I am talking about the rip cuts, but on this piece the cross cut as well since it will be square. I ordered the Festool 12-tooth and 28-tooth blade.

I will just have to see how bad of an edge the...

Hello,

I wanted to see any suggestions for cutting 2” Walnut. I have used it quite a few times and I usually just round over or similar the edges where the burn marks are. However, I want a square...

Jim, much appreciated giving me this information. I took a spray class some year back but we used Sand and Sealer and Shellac. I remember buffing it out with sandpaper, 000 steel wool, and spraying...

Hello all,

I am building a miter station with numerous cabinets in my attached two-car garage shop. I am making them out of Purebond 3/4" Maple plywood. I had a couple questions about the...

Our gas company uses it while they are digging large holes. The guy said when they are done it is mandatory that they throw it away. There is no concrete or debris on majority of it. Some of it was...
