We just finished some white oak fencing with Cetol Marine. Its a new-ish formulation so there aren't many reviews out there, but Sikkens is a pretty great company.

I would probably try buying a cheap drill press rosette cutter with the intention of grinding my own knife:

Let me see if I'm getting this straight. The postal service is a non-profit organisation. As of jan 2007 they started refunding money on over declarations. Lee has gotten 1 million in that refund...
I started using autocad r11 for architectural modeling using 3dfaces and surfaces before good solid modeling was available outside unix machines. It is far from an intuitive way of doing things but...
A friend of mine has an old Onsrud w-200 shaper that runs at 15000rpm. Makes sense coming from a company famous for routers. I remember using a standard 1/2 straight bit on some sort of collet...
Happens a lot with walnut. You need to close those pores by sanding thinned Waterlox in with wet/dry sandpaper. Build up a slurry,push it in, but avoid the wiping phase afterwords.

Waterlox Marine tung oil varnish gives very attractive results that seem to last quite well but takes a full day at least to cure enough to sand (or steel wool) and recoat. Techinically you don't...
Love the stuff. People just need to make sure whatever they are sanding/polishing is fully cured or they can get gunked up, sometimes permanently.
I've used the vin/iron method and the dye method with quartersawn walnut and they both work fine. The chemical process preserves more of the original figure but can take more than one "dose" to get...
I use Blox and it does help. The thing is, the skin that you are finding is only the most visible part of the problem: a signifigant amount of the oil under the skin is going to be partially...
Trim the pallet a bit so that you aren't tripping over it, jack the whole thing up on concrete blocks, bolt on some casters, and slide the blocks out from under it. All of my machines are still...
Spar varnish should be regulated as a controlled substance; I find it just plain addictive. I am currently in the middle of finishing a patio table for a friend and it has become something of a...
HTC does make one for the Bridgewood (HSQ-2171) and Sunhill (HSH-2106) 15" models, as well as powermatic 16" (HSO-2820). Otherwise they make custom ones if you send them all the info. Not sure...
Very true. Italian Greyhounds are notorious heat vampires. They just can't help it.
I was a bit scared about the sparks from my ceramic guides early on but I've found that, as long as they are properly adjusted and tightened up, I haven't had any problems. The only time I had...
Knapp machines are available with a Leitz Wigo. The machines are relatively cheap right now because the company has or had been in financial trouble, but the knives themselves are wickedly...
I've had a bit of experience fixing up a large installation of the larger boards (4x8+) and its my experience that guns just don't give the depth accuracy needed for a good finish. I spent tons of...
The stuff I've gotten is sliced from a quarter sawn section, not very wide, but interesting rays and flecks and such.
I was super impressed with the patterning and layout before even reading this line. Now I'm speechless.
Quick question: What does the shellac "do" between the BLO and Waterlox? Tint?
Gotcha, thanks.
I'm a bit confused about this reversing switch. If its simply a matter of feeding the plank, having it sanded in both directions, and having it spit back at you, I think I'd be a big fan. Geesh,...
I'd also say that if this was something you were indeed looking for, you wouldn't necessarily look under Belt Sanders-Professional.
:p take a sec, go to the Big Auction Site, and search for "RARE "HOMEMADE" BELT SANDER".
These guys say they have new Maka factory stuff"

Also, Miller Dowel does sell Ipe versions of their stuff. Most places only sell the domestic species but you can buy the exotic stuff direct.
