Went to Lowes to pick up some stain and also bought a stick of 2" X 2" Red Oak. I had a idea of making a mini bird house like I saw some place.
I knew Oak was hard but didn't realize it was that hard. I started with a #3 blade and had smoke coming out of the cut, then changed to a #5 and it did a little better but still wasn't a pleasurable experience. I did get the project done but it took a lot of sanding (Which was tough also) to get rid of the burn marks.
Anyone need the left over stick of Red Oak. LOL
