Re: Come on, admit it. It has crossed your mind

Thanks Gene. I had heard of Timbers but thought they mostly sold woodworking machinery. I'll have to stop by there and check on their lumber selection. Good to know. I’m sure my brother, skou, will chime in here, but Timber is the best, most reasonable speciality lumber and working tool store in th...

Re: A flavorful tip for glue ups

Sorry to chime in on such an inactive thread but I've done this, recently. I've glued up about 15 cutting boards using this technique, and all I have to say, if it survives salt corrosion, this is a winner. All it takes is a very few grains, maybe 15 or less per joint. On the cutting boards I only p...
