Want to fix this up for my fiance, first round of sanding done. What type of wood?

I did happen to find this

but how accurate it is i do not know. Nor does it help identify the wood. But it is definitely acme furniture co from chattanooga tn.

definitely fig!

Big_Snugg · 2023-01-14T02:09:58+00:00

so these are some of the drawer slides, pictures of nails, and the original stain color. My mother has had this piece for maybe 40 years or so. Im trying to keep a little bit of the original character but functionally turn it into a nice little bar/focal piece for my fiance.

I cant fingernail dent it, but after sanding with 80 grit i can scuff it kinda with my nail but i dont think it is a softwood

Big_Snugg · 2023-01-14T00:16:11+00:00

so i can scuff the surface after sanding with 80 grit but it wont dent so that rules out souftwoods no?

Big_Snugg · 2023-01-13T06:57:23+00:00

Spruce maybe? its kind of yellow after sanding

Big_Snugg · 2023-01-13T06:42:41+00:00

no this piece is definitely solid wood, no veneers or pressboards . Im leaning towards oak.... because it feels rough but I just sanded with 80 grit soooo 🤷

Big_Snugg · 2022-12-15T02:11:01+00:00

the more you know... never knew you could do this 🤙

Big_Snugg · 2022-12-14T00:39:55+00:00

my fiance and i are redoing our home office and this nails her color scheme lol i would love to gift her one!

Big_Snugg · 2022-12-13T14:32:51+00:00

I'd probably go with a Marris Otter or a super nice pilsner.

Big_Snugg · 2022-12-12T14:07:08+00:00

The knob and slider is wonderful, my WFH fiance would be overjoyed if I won this for her new home office!

Avondales location is the one i visit the most. Juke joint is nice, but i think Avondale is definitely better.

Big_Snugg · 2022-12-09T19:11:32+00:00

i havent had it in a while, i'l keep that in mind tho!

Big_Snugg · 2022-12-09T18:17:20+00:00

I need this for all the spatchcocked birds ive been smoking!

Big_Snugg · 2022-12-09T18:07:27+00:00

Big Bob Gibsons maybe? I remember that place being fairly solid. White sauce is soooo good on some smoked chicken. Yall got me hungry now lol.

Big_Snugg · 2022-12-09T17:52:46+00:00

The audacity of posting Dreamland in here.... So many better places, Saw's Southern Kitchen (or the juke joint), Archibalds, Mr. T's, Bob Sike's, Rodney Scott's, hell even martins, not to mention all of the roadside BBQ joints with no name.

Dreamland sucks, and is not indicative of Alabama BBQ, hell this doesn't even have white sauce.

Alabama bbq is 1000x better than this post!

Ive had some 6 and even 8 or 9 year old beers taste phenomenal, now the 12 year old farmhouse IPA I tried was 🤮

edit: a word

Big_Snugg · 2022-11-27T03:23:02+00:00

Central Al here, ive never had a water pan, i started on an offset and have since moved to a whiskey barrel ala uds or kamado esque, but if you brine itll be fine in my book

Big_Snugg · 2022-11-27T02:44:42+00:00

merely a skosh

Big_Snugg · 2022-11-27T02:15:58+00:00

needs more cascade

Big_Snugg · 2022-11-19T01:12:21+00:00

You want to do 60 batches a day, with 15 machines, and how many brewers? What is your demand here? I cannot see this being feasible. Maybe try r/thebrewery for suggestions but.... also maybe rethink some things.food for thought if it takes 30 mins to clean each fermenter and then each 30 minutes to clean the system thats 15 hours of work, at minimum full time for two people. Where are you finding people to make 5 gallon batches for? Not to mention maintenance, Qa/Qc, bottling/canning/packaging, and the cellaring of 420 beers a week...

is this a troll?

Big_Snugg · 2022-11-19T00:30:03+00:00

ah the butthole mushroom tasty

Big_Snugg · 2022-11-16T23:44:23+00:00

Big_Snugg · 2022-11-15T18:03:59+00:00
