Jim, the guy actually said that they cut all the sapwood off. I will be sure to look it over. Believe you me that I have been burnt a bunch. I bought a bunch of maple, site unseen, that looked...

A friend of mine gave me a phone number of a guy that has 600 bdf. of kiln dried cherry lumber for $1.50 a foot for sale. Sounds good so far but I am fixing to get to the strange part. I called the...

Thanks for all the information. One thing is for sure, it is way out of my class. Calvin, that is one incredable piece of furniture. The close up really shows the great workmanship. Thank you and...

I found this picture of a great looking table on another great website. Can someone tell me how the fancy trim at the top is connected to the table? It does not look like the corners of the top trim...

It`s always something is better than the alternative. I miss the little button on the floor, they were way to simple, even I could change one. They have too many people hired to unsimplify things. ...

I looked in a book I have, How to build shaker furniture, by Thomas Moser and it shows a trastle table with Windsor chairs. I had never considered that the two went together. The Windsor is a...

Scott, I used Kutzit which did a pretty good job. I am sanding it all over now and will give it a bath in mineral spirits and start all over. I called Cabot and talked to a very knowledgeable lady...

188898188899188900188901Casey, I actually did try a sample and it was so syrupy that you could not wipe it off. I should have stopped at that point. Chris, it was not an area, the whole darn desk was...

I have spent the last ten months building a slant front desk made out of cherry. I use Minwax oil base cherry stain a lot and should have continued to do so. I bought Cabot penetrating wood stain...

The desk is great looking. Every project that I have seen that you have done are always top notch. I have seen your build of the desk on your website and it is great. You mentioned that you was...

I am going to spray my 1970`s dark oak kitchen cabinets white. Therefore, I am guessing that they have walnut stain with lacquer over them. I have been struggling with leaving the grain or trying...

I have had this happen, I think what caused my problem was I got in a hurry and did not let the first coat thoroughly dry. I ended up stripping it down and doing it over, I do not think it would...

Scott, thank you for your reply. My birthday is in April, maybe it will be dry by then. I kept six post to air dry, just in case the others mess up. I suppose it will take four years for those to...

I took seventeen 16/4 cherry post to a lumber yard to be kiln dryed. He said, it will take a good amount of time to dry it. I called a month later and he said it is going to take a long time. I...

Your work is out of this world. It would be rather nice to have you around. Barry Bruner

John, you did a fantastic job on the hutch. It is different than most hutches that I have ran into and the walnut really sets it off. Now about your next project, what about a Pie crust tea table. ...
