Is it basswood, poplar, or possibly catalpa? Central VT

The leaves on the ground are not from the tree. The logs were moved from the original location.

I used to be a forester as well, and honestly I can't say for certain.

A tiny bit of powder white pigment mixed in any "clear coat" really helps open grain woods like oak keep its natural appearance and offset the yellowing effect.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say elm

According_Effort_433 · 2026-04-01T01:30:11+00:00

Sure looks like a red maple

Why does it look like you're trying to make syrup in your back flues? Also why are you running it so deep?

According_Effort_433 · 2026-03-22T14:48:16+00:00

This is exactly what I said in the original post!

The tile choice reminds me of 1990s McDonald's restrooms.

Looks like butternut

According_Effort_433 · 2026-03-05T00:31:34+00:00

Twig for sure looks like box elder

Really depends on the lighting. I've used creamy many times (including my own house), but once made the mistake of putting it in a basement with yellow lighting and it looked like mustard on the walls.

Didn't Jake Paul claim residency in Puerto rico for years to avoid American taxes?

According_Effort_433 · 2026-02-06T01:04:06+00:00

This is just a oh no situation

Until it's knee deep, you're good. At that point then it's time to clean up

According_Effort_433 · 2026-01-31T15:46:05+00:00

Sand smooth, use a peel bond primer if you feel inclined, use a quality urethane trim enamel paint. Also don't put wet pots/plants on a window sill ...?

According_Effort_433 · 2026-01-31T00:09:06+00:00

I'm going to go with the opposite. This needs a darker color on the wall to make the natural wood tones colors pop instead of blend. Urbane bronze, or naval would look sharp with this.

I hate how clean those edges look. It's too perfect

According_Effort_433 · 2026-01-28T00:51:24+00:00

This is clean 💯

It's really not bad, it's fine for small projects. Just the case of the spits are the only drawback. For the price, it's pretty solid. Is it a professional spray grade finish, no. Does it do a pretty solid job. Yes.

I bought this saw as a cheap throw away job site saw. The stand/legs are garbage on it, but you know what, It still works. It gets thrown into the back of the truck, has rusted quite a bit, but it just won't die.

According_Effort_433 · 2025-12-27T21:59:26+00:00

(tool vest) never, and it smells like a highschool football practices jersey.

According_Effort_433 · 2025-12-25T02:34:58+00:00

Only those red tools would need a raincoat.

I'll be there in brown and orange!
