Re: Too dry Basswood
The experience you describe actually sounds alot like when I tried to carve cotton wood, it was the same way and I threw it out before I finished. I have not experienced basswood ever getting really light. Air dried usually seems lighter than kiln dried, but neither...

Re: Lettering with computer true-type fonts
Ihave done two name plaques, I used Helenistic on one, and Tahoma on the other. I did it primitively. I printed out the name, used spray adhesive to apply it to the wood, then routed the letters out. I then finished it up with chisels for that...Leave a comment:
