There is a slightly red component to it. The recessed areas don't seem to be much darker, only where there is end grain.

I am going to be making a couple nightstands to match our existing bedroom furniture. The included picture is the actual style/finish I am striving for. It is from the same company's web site that...

These are great, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw you are an Olallan, as I am too! What does BLM stand for? I imagine it's our native maple?

I just recently did this and am so far am happy with the results. I built a 6x4 room on the back of my shop and put the Oneida in there (shop is 20x24 with 12 foot ceilings). I fully insulated the...

Although still a long trip for you, Edensaw in Port Townsend has my vote. I got 8/4 cherry there a few months back.

I would like to build a vanity similar to the one in this picture. I am struggling with how to join the plywood carcass to the solid legs.

I am just finishing up with a similar build, but the...

Thanks Ken. In addition to Roger's question, which do you thin down to 50% with mineral spirits? Also, would you mind recommending a specific shellac?

I apologize for any redundancy here as I know this topic has been covered numerous times - I have read countless threads on finishing cherry. But I think by reading so many different schedules I am...

I am going to build a bathroom vanity with 2.5 inch square legs, solid cherry. I have a lot of 4/4 on hand but nothing thicker. Is it OK to laminate four pieces together to get my legs?

Does anyone have pictures of what the plywood floor looks like? I am seriously considering this, although I would probably use standard 1-1/8 tongue and groove plywood, possibly unfinished. How did...

Does anyone have any opinions/experiences on using beech? I specifically am thinking of using it to build a bathroom vanity for someone, the reason being they want that dark espresso finish that...

Thanks for the info so far, it has been useful. One thing I should have specifically asked is I am having a hard time coming up with a plan for all the components and how they are joined. Does...

I want to build something as similar to this picture I found as possible but am having a hard time coming up with a detailed plan. Normally I at least start from plans even if I modify them, but am...

I am in the same situation. If you leave a gap for air, you need to have an entry and an exit for the air right (soffets in, ridge vent out)?

Has anyone tried one of the wall heaters that Northern sells (the ones that can be recessed)? I see they have a 4000 watt unit for $200. I'm wondering how that would work for me (my shop is a bit...

Found an ad on CL for about 80 BF of birch planks, but asking price comes out to a little over $5/BF. Is this price in line with what the dealers sell it for? Unfortunately none of them have their...

This show is in Seattle this weekend and I was wondering if it's worth going to. What can I expect there? I haven't been to a woodworking show of any type, so enlighten me! :)

As we get closer to moving to a house with a dedicated shop, one major thing I need to take care of is putting something in the garage opening. The previous owner never put up a garage door, or door...

Thanks for the input, sounds like it's worth the work that goes into it. Would the following link be the two-part epoxy you're both referring to?

We are moving to a new house next week which has a dedicated shop! However, the previous owner didn't use it as a shop, so I have some prep work to do. The floor is just a raw concrete slab. How...

Thanks for the suggestions, I will definitely be sure not to use my good chisels in ply anymore. Also, I emailed AI the picture and asked what they recommend. Their reply: just give us the size,...

Thanks for everyone's replies. It turns out that's the way a locknut is supposed to work. This particular one has a 2nd nylon nut that isn't threaded which is what makes it so tough to turn. But...

Further info, a picture:

I'm trying to integrate more hand tools into my projects little by little. I got a brand new set of Ashley Isles chisels, and today I was squaring off the end of a stopped dado and I broke one! ...

Just got my new jointer, and almost have it assembled, but I have a question. I am having a problem (I think) with the lock nut that works in conjunction with the fence lock lever. When I turn the...
