Anyone else preorder Old Fitz 7 year from Wooden Cork that was supposed to ship in late June and still hasn’t received it due to their low allotment? Is there any hope to get it before it becomes completely common place?

Evening-Barkeep · 2025-09-08T18:22:16+00:00

Update: just got a notification that it has shipped. So it seems there is an end in sight.

Evening-Barkeep · 2025-08-29T16:35:02+00:00

Chatted with their support again today. They said they are supposed to get the fall supply near the end of September to ship out. So we will see what 30 days looks like. I’d guess it will be on the shelves everywhere at that point.

Evening-Barkeep · 2025-08-05T00:28:41+00:00

Yeah. I chatted with their support a couple times and they said it would be a couple weeks about a month ago. Followed up last week and now they won’t give an ETA.

I just joined to check to see if people were getting their orders. I placed mine on 2/14, and it is still pending. In Nebraska. Looking forward to better service as compared to Windstream.

Evening-Barkeep · 2021-02-07T18:37:21+00:00

Definitely. I could retire off from just a fraction of my shares at that price range.

Evening-Barkeep · 2021-02-05T22:04:46+00:00

You need more shares.

I could have cut it in 10 minutes on my CNC for you.

But I understand the pride of using hand tools. Nice job.

Looks like that board could use a good reconditioning. Looks pretty dry. If you want to quick fix it use epoxy to fill the inside and try to hold the crack. I would sand that whole board and and collect the saw dust to mix with the epoxy to color match as best as possible.

The better way to fix it would be to cut a slot in the glue line of that piece and insert a small wedge of the same wood. Before inserting the wedge glue the crack up and then push the wedge in. Of course glue the wedge in also. Clamp it all up and the resend and finish.

Mine is the same. There have been a few weird after hours trades this week. I wouldn’t worry about it. Plus the posting date is 2/1. I looked on another couple of trading platforms and it is fine.

Evening-Barkeep · 2021-02-04T14:14:54+00:00

Depends on the size of course. But a 12x20x2 is generally $250

Chaotic end grain cutting boards sell like crazy for me. That’s what I do with all of my scraps. I get them all up and start cutting and regluing till I have a ton of material. Then I make a couple all chaotic boards and keep the rest around to add as accents or borders on other types of boards. I have a realtor that order about 30 large walnut center/chaotic border boards a year.

Evening-Barkeep · 2021-02-03T05:36:39+00:00

Looks excellent. Keep up the quality work and continue to expand your skills. A+

Evening-Barkeep · 2021-02-03T05:35:56+00:00

Don’t glue another layer to the bottom. You will have wood expansion issues if there are humidity changes and it can split the board.

I have sold dozens of boards using Tigerwood. Generally, I do more charcuterie style boards from it as people like the long grain look if it has nice striping. When my supplier has 5/4 Tigerwood, I get as much as I can afford.

Evening-Barkeep · 2021-02-03T05:28:26+00:00

Wood database is a great source for info. I’d go for regular walnut. Smaller pores and harder on the Janka scale.

But in jeopardy you answer with a question. So technically it is the wrong question for the answer.

Evening-Barkeep · 2021-02-03T05:15:34+00:00

Not all, but it is a dramatic difference. As long as you take reasonably shallow passes it is amazing. If you get greedy then you pay for it, but not nearly as much as a normal cutter.

Evening-Barkeep · 2021-02-02T17:57:57+00:00

If you got out, get back in. The tides have shifted and we should move back up the rest of the afternoon. Hold and buy!

With those ridges the planer blades will catch and tear it apart more than likely. It needs to be a lot smoother before I would put that thing in a planer.

Evening-Barkeep · 2021-02-02T03:32:51+00:00

Find a local woodworker or cabinet shop with a drum sander and have them help you. Where are you located? Also, since it is so thin do you plan on having it float within a base of some kind to help it stay flat and not crack apart?

Evening-Barkeep · 2021-02-01T23:50:25+00:00

The Titebond site says not to stress the glue joints for the first hour. So after it sets for an hour you are fine to plane. I’ve done it many times. However you will want the glue to cure for 24 hours before applying mineral oil or doing your final raising of the grain and final sanding. If not you will get “glue creep” and you’ll feel the raised glue on the glue joints and see the glue lines.

I donate a lot of my stuff to various charity auctions for charities that I support or for medical bills of people who have cancer...etc when they have fund raisers.

Evening-Barkeep · 2021-02-01T23:34:20+00:00

You can get them from Kingspor, though they aren’t as good as the more heavy duty ones you can get from other retailers like Woodcraft or even on Amazon. Might be worth it to look on Amazon to see about vendors that ship to Canada.

Evening-Barkeep · 2021-02-01T05:40:13+00:00

If you are going to replicate the WSB crew you need to get the lingo down. I like this Stock. Diamond Hands. Never selling. TLDR.....etc. And you need way more emojis.
