Re: How to Set Wood Sap

Thanks for this timely info. I just tried your technique on some Douglas fir drawer fronts which had pockets of sticky sap along the bottom edges of the boards. After cooking for just over an hour at a temp somewhere between 150-200F, the sap has set and is no longer sticky. My oven knob only goes down to 200F so there was much guesswork, but it did the trick. Also, there was no discernable wood movement or change in appearance on the faces of the boards (which had already been planed). Anyway, thanks again. Cheers!

Re: Timber Frame Work Shop

At first I thought this was real. Then I realized there's no way anyone would have a shop (and house! and garage!) that was as cool as this and in a setting so beautiful! But it's good to have dreams. And a sense of humor. ;->

Re: Bending Wood and Stretching Strings

Wow. Thanks for sharing. The book looks like something I would devour as well. I will have to track down the movie. In the meantime, the website for the movie is simply one of the best websites I've ever seen. Watch a few of the trailers and click on the 'Characters' tab to see why. http://www.notebynotethemovie.com/

Thanks again!

I similarly enjoyed Wooden Boats by Michael Ruhlman about the building of classic wooden boats.
