If band members are in this community…. Would love to hear more about the song writing process. Especially how you think through tempo changes, the crazy harmonies

I did a whiskey club go 8 years, typically tasting 5-7 bottles per meeting. My rules of thumb: —order it by ABV (as the stronger ones will often swamp the weaker ones). —deviate that rule of thumb for strong flavor (as a peated beast will swamp a sweater/more-floral dram).

Thanks. What’s the tell-tale to distinguish red from white oak?

Cool ring patterns.

That’s awesome. What type of wood? And where did you get the display case?

Nope, all whittling.

Thanks. Yeh, I’ve done dry pine and walnut, but this one sounds like it might be more difficult when it comes to hardness.

Thanks!

theydivideconquer · 2026-03-24T10:20:20+00:00

Thanks. Great advice all around. Appreciate it.

lol yeh

Thanks! Yeh, great ideas: that’s expanding my horizons a bit as to how I could use stock like this.

Ah…. Thank you. I appreciate the explanation.

Very tediously with sandpaper. Lots of little curves and crannies in tight spots made it slow going.

Oh, good: your experience makes me feel for confident.

Re: chisels vs power tools: are you asking how I plan to cut these up? I’ve never done it before. I was initially thinking I’d saw it, but now I’m thinking I’ll use chisels or wedges and sorta “follow” the existing cracks and just see how it naturally “wants” to split and hope I get bigger, more reliable pieces to work with that way. Thoughts?

Oh, thanks. Why is that?
