Thanks for the replies. Useful stuff. I guess I better think hard about this chunk. I’d post a picture, if I knew how. ��

Recently I was gifted a piece of Brazilian Rosewood that’s 2.6 inches x 3.6 inches x 6feet. I work in American hardwoods and don’t have a clue about this stuff , other than it may be valuable. Any...

There is a store near me that sells furniture of all types made of sweet gum. Chairs , tables , everything! Nice stuff too.

You must make a "hole saw" from a piece of tube or buy one (like Greg says from Rockler) . Anything else is just hit or miss !

I just bought an old barber shop leather strop at a flea market . It says "sharpen this side " and the reverse side " finish this side " . I want to use this to finish my plane blades . Should I use...

I use the old time stuff - 1/3 beeswax - 1/3 linseed oil - 1/3 thinner . Melt together (gently) in the micro-wave in a wide mouth jar . Use it like a paste wax .

You might try looking on You tube at the L-N videos . You can see a plane till behind Deneb as he works on a scrub plane . I'm guessing the tilt is about 22 1/2 degrees .
I'm busy copying that...

For a first effort it's really nice . I think you might think about a small vise mounted on it . The size /shape/type of vise determines how it mounts and might have to considered before starting a...
