Great work,Derek. Save some of that curly wood for guitars!
Is that an outside wall?
Thanks George. The curly Tassie Oak is unusual (for Tassie Oak). The wood is relatively cheap and when I need something for simple projects I go along to the local Borg (Bunnings) and buy a few lengths off the rack. They do not care about figure, etc. The boards are destined for DIY home repairs. The irony is that a lot of it comes quarter sawn. Very occasionally I find some that is curly, and grab it. It is quite beautiful and would be wasted cut up and nailed together as a kennel. I doubt, however, whether it would have good tonal characteristics for guitars. Does White Oak have?
The wall is internal. Behind that is a spare bedroom (no one in the family wants to live there with me bashing and crashing in the garage/shop).
