My first thought when I saw the pics is that it was Cypress. I just bought about 60 bf of rough cypress two weeks ago and planed some of it to see how it looks. It looks just like that.

Thanks for the link Mike! It was what I needed to get over the hump in the learning curve. Here is a mission library table I did in sketchup from dimensions I got from the book "Mission Furniture:...
Hey that looks great.
Keep an eye on Craigslist.
Brian, you should just go ahead and give parquetry a try. I think you can do this. I'd probably follow Mike's suggested method for installation. I think I'd cut the veneer myself and thickness it...
Jim, I have a Stanley #4 WWII vintage plane that has silver paint on it too , including the body, and it seems to be original. There is only bare metal under the metallic. For what it is worth, the...
I was very impressed with the results of electrolysis. I did some stanleys last fall that I got at the flea market. If you want to preserve the details I think it is the best way. The only caution...
A couple more I was taught in addition to those..
3) Never use the rip fence when cross-cutting with the the miter gage.
4) Always tilt the blade away from the rip fence when doing a bevel rip.
I'm glad your injury wasn't more serious.
Depending on how fast your hand entered the blade, you might have gotten the same injury even with the Sawstop. If I recall, the specification for the...
So are Borax (20 mule-team borax) and Boric acid crystals the same thing?
Thanks for the tip Andrew. After reading about hoop-stress, I think I understand now.
I think Ed's argument about the smaller tank not requiring the same level of certification is probably a big...
Not an ME, but I still don't buy it. Ever seen above ground swimming pools? The smaller pools use the same flimsy metal as the big ones, because the pressure is the same. As long as a circular...
If I was a farmer I'd be outstanding in my field. I'd call it Keehn Acres. :D
If I was a doctor I'd be an opthamalogist, cause I got a Keehn Eye. :D
If I was a swimwear designer, I'd say "Buy...
I'm going to have to use that Steve :)
All you can really say is that the dual tank version used considerably more steel to do the same job as the single tank version. Lets suppose the one and two gallon tanks are spheres. If you took the...
That looks great Steven. Pretty impressive for your first project. I see the wood movement you were talking about, but I honestly wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't mentioned it.
I have the Dewalt D55168 15 Gallon 200 PSI upright air compressor that I got on clearance at the borg. It's got oodles more capacity than my old compressor, which had a single 4 or 5 gallon tank at...
Ned, I bought a Powermatic 14" with riser block in late 2006. It had the riser block problem and it was pretty severe. The blade would pop off a LOT. I tired a lot of things but couldn't fix it. Also...
Good example! I like it. What's it made from?
On my piano bench, the battens were not as thick as those. The craftsman had also rounded over the edges that stood proud and had chamfered the...
If it were me, I'd be focused on which face of the board looks best and how well the grain matches. If I'm going to compensate for cupping, I'd rather modify the construction in a way that doesn't...
Thanks Belinda.
Yeah, I've pretty much decided. My wife likes "Keehn Edge Woodworks" too. I can tell she's excited, since she has been talking about getting some shirts made :).
I've got to...
What to do with cutoffs, etc

By the way, what did you lubricate that oak with?
Hey Harry, that's pretty cool. I like it.
I was designing one of these in my head today. I've got antique tap (and threadbox) that's about 2" in diameter and about 3 TPI. It looks like it...
That's pretty cool Harry. :)
