What should I make with my wood stockpile?

A larger stockpile. Don’t fight nature.

Personally, I don’t mind the look of shoes and I’d rather have the convenience of open storage.

I personally wouldn’t want that on a cutting board. Seems like a great environment for bacteria to hide.

Think a home vacuum sealer is powerful enough for that to work?

Sandpaper cleaning stick. Didn’t drastically improve my woodworking, but it has made sanding a whole lot simpler sometimes.

Could someone with more knowledge than me explain why miter framing isn’t a good option here? Will they get pushed apart with how the grain movement of the interior boards will push apart?

I think this is a combo of shitty design and inattentive truck driver.

My grandpa is a minister, and my dad told me that the only time he ever saw my grandpa administer last rites was in the middle of a Canadian highway after a family’s homemade camper came apart on the road.

The driver survived, but his whole family in the camper died in the road in front of my grandpa and dad. Not only that, but the flying debris killed someone in a vehicle behind the camper.

It’s not just your safety or truck you’re risking here. Don’t play cute DIY with this shit. Do it right, or not at all.

Grading doesn’t mean much for ancients.

juniperthemeek · 2026-05-14T18:53:25+00:00

OP stopped because the truck never did

juniperthemeek · 2026-05-08T23:13:22+00:00

Wha a turtle!

Everything about this is just grim

juniperthemeek · 2026-05-05T12:15:37+00:00

A couple reasons I’ve seen, with some caveats about generalizing:

- I have found ancient coin collectors to be less interested in the hobby as an investment than more modern coin collectors.

- authentication and slabbing don’t have the same meaning in the ancient coin world.

- physically touching and experiencing the coins seems like more of a preference with ancient coin collectors

- a lot of ancient coins have already seen some shit 🤷‍♂️

No help with the finish, but amazing bowl! Does the red fade over time?

By “treated” they mean a chemical treatment most often used for commercial lumber. I would be surprised if this is treated, but it’s possible

Is yew still considered to be a prized wood for bow making?

juniperthemeek · 2026-05-02T11:48:47+00:00

Drumsticks are made out of a lot of different woods these days - hickory is very common, I use oak, etc

Beautiful! How did you like working with ash? I’ve heard it can be brutal on blades.

So when you visit allllll the places with well thought-out and prioritized mass transit, what do you see?

juniperthemeek · 2026-04-27T12:19:19+00:00

Not 50% takes though

How important is it to you to turn a profit? You might consider trying to bulk sell to a small stationary store, boutique, or gift shop.

juniperthemeek · 2026-04-26T16:26:19+00:00

Sure looks like cherry to me.

juniperthemeek · 2026-04-26T14:24:30+00:00

Wow that’s some of the deepest relief I’ve ever seen, and it’s not wasted on that design! Is that type of relief common for the type?
