Beautiful--what species and size?Jim
When looking at the clock at work--the correct time is:
Too early to leave, too late to call in. -
Is that some price cherry? Are you seriously going to cut into it? Wood is commanding some awesome prices right now....and you don't even have to do it on the blackmarket!

Linda, this was free! Bruce and the “boys” cut it at the sawmill last year and it’s been drying ever since. It was 4/4 and planed and sanded to 3/4. People go nuts when I tell them where it is from and that it’s local wood. And I can charge more. I haven’t bought poplar in years. Red oak, white oak, oak, all local. Here are the two baskets I cut. I have some cherry that has a lot of pink and almost white. They are next to be cut.
Jim, these were cut from larger boards, about 6’ Long. I have some boards 7’ long and about 9” wide. Bruce will glue some together for wider boards.
I think I forgot to mention we have quarter sawn sycamore cut about 3 weeks ago drying at the mill.Last edited by will8989; 09-21-2021, 10:58 PM.Betty

We are lucky. They do a lot of cutting for the county parks for fences, after all a 600 acre farm park takes a lot of fence boards, replace foot bridges, upkeep on buildings, Boy Scout projects, etc. It amazes the amount of work they get done in 3 hours Once a week. Bruce is one of the youngest at 72, and the knowledge they have is amazing. It will all be lost if people don’t learn it now.Betty

Reply to What tooth count should I use?by PackardThe prototype’s ears were just flat. The second version had steam bent ears, but that was taking too long to do.
Now I take the 1/4” thick x 3” stock and on the table saw with a tenoning jig, I cut the stock at a 9 degree angle, then I count out the ears. So the ears stick out from...-

Reply to Wen ll2156by RolfThe purpose of the foot switch is free up both hands to hold your work. If the blade binds and the wood starts hopping you just lift your foot and regain control.
