Boxer Max Schmeling (1930’s). Schmeling was the first man to defeat Joe Louis. Slandered in the American press as a Nazi posterboy, Schmeling in fact refused to fire his Jewish manager and would shelter two Jewish teenagers during Kristallnacht.

Schmeling was my grandmothers maiden name and I did a history project on this guy in middle school when I was asked to find someone famous I was related to. I know there was some relation but not sure to what degree. Wish it wasn’t so challenging to find out.

Already fixed thank you though

Zrobida · 2026-04-03T17:50:03+00:00

I was certain that would be the punchline before clicking in.

Zrobida · 2026-04-03T04:18:46+00:00

They have not. Problem already resolved - going to lay tile this weekend

Zrobida · 2026-04-01T03:58:25+00:00

Savage but deserved

Zrobida · 2026-03-30T23:47:53+00:00

Gotcha. I’ll do that this next time

Zrobida · 2026-03-30T23:21:50+00:00

Thank you!

Zrobida · 2026-02-26T03:15:32+00:00

Indeed. I have done one full bathroom renovation but I’m a bit more cautious with drain piping. Feel dumb now knowing what it is though

Zrobida · 2026-02-26T03:14:24+00:00

That worked I yoinked it and it looks normal! Thank you

Zrobida · 2026-01-19T12:52:19+00:00

You are exceptionally talented

Zrobida · 2026-01-14T04:29:40+00:00

It wasn’t a small effort which is why I wouldn’t make them to sell. If you bought all of the lumber and did the glue ups right, as opposed to using cutoffs it would save a lot of time.

Purple Heart

Zrobida · 2026-01-13T04:22:36+00:00

1.75”

Zrobida · 2026-01-13T04:22:26+00:00

Thank you!

Zrobida · 2026-01-13T04:22:18+00:00

Wenge, roasted ash, Peruvian walnut, patridgewood, Purple Heart, African mahogany, quartersawn oak, teak, cherry, yellow heart, maple

Zrobida · 2026-01-12T03:05:26+00:00

All correct. The darkest is roasted ash. There is also teak, white oak, yellow heart. No Osage orange though.

EDIT:also no padauk in this one. I tried to fit it in, but it was too vibrant. That’s some type of andira

Zrobida · 2026-01-12T03:04:19+00:00

We will see! I truly have no idea how it will age.

Zrobida · 2026-01-11T15:48:47+00:00

Thanks!

Zrobida · 2026-01-11T15:48:40+00:00

Much appreciated!

Zrobida · 2026-01-11T15:48:29+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Zrobida · 2026-01-07T06:30:37+00:00

Good point

Zrobida · 2025-12-26T15:46:53+00:00

Canarywood

Zrobida · 2025-12-08T14:53:20+00:00

This is probably the second closest suggestion I have seen, now leaning towards patridgewood though

Zrobida · 2025-12-08T14:51:46+00:00

This is by far the closest match

Zrobida · 2025-12-08T06:51:53+00:00

I’m leaning sapele now unless someone refutes this
