Hi all,
I belong to a penturners club that meets every other month on the first Thursday. Coming home from this months meeting I passed Ikea and it occurred to me that our meeting in April will be on April Fool’s Day. And I want to give everyone a couple of turning blanks of “Ikea®wood.”
Often when we attend these meetings woodworkers will bring surplus materials that they have to trade and often they are free for the taking. The other night for example a friend of mine gave me some IPE wood and he included an information sheet that he had found on the web. Here are the various attributes that were covered on the sheet.
Botanical name:

Grain:

I want to come up with a “gag” sheet for particle board or “Ikea®wood.”
Does anyone want to take a crack at this?
