Re: Chris Gochnour's technique for inlaying stringing

I have the same question re the stringing across the grain and wood movement of the table top. Surely the stringing could break over time, couldn't it? I read in an earlier issue of FWW something about using end grain stringing for the cross grain portions. I would like the author's opinion on this.

Re: UPDATED: Help a Fine Woodworker Solve a Veneer Problem

I would use an Exacto knife guided by a metal ruler to outline the waste piece. Then I would gently parry away out the damaged veneer piece with a sharp chisel held flat with the help of a rest clamped as shown in the pictures. gluing a matching piece just proud of the surface is then fairly easy. Sand level and refinish.

Re: Bench Cookie Giveaway

I read about the cookies in the most recent issue of Fine Woodworking and they appear to be ideal for edge routing - would like to try them out.

Tom Trek, I included 4 more photos showing more detail with the submission. They should be accessible. If I had your email I would send you them directly.
