I'm not liking maple, that's one hard piece of wood..plus it's 1/16 of an inch thicker than the rest of my 3/4 inch wood...
I finally received my Truck pattern that I have been waiting for and the woods the pattern suggested are...Black Walnut..Aspen..Pau Amarillo..Dark, light and medium Western Cedar...
not knowing what woods would be suggested and to a limited supply at the local lumber yard I got walnut, red oak and maple for the lighter colored wood..
the walnut cuts nice and the red oak isn't to bad, but that Maple..
I'm at a stand still until tomorrow when I can try and cut down the maple on a table saw..I could always go and try and find some thinner but I'm already $60 into wood and I sure would hate to substitute Poplar for the maple..
Now that I've reread my post, maybe Poplar isn't such a bad idea after all because once I do get the maple cut down then it has to be shaped down another 1/8 th of an inch..
any idea's other than I NEED MORE TOOLS!
