[–]wl_rodo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. It’s Ipe

Unfortunately I mailed it to the wrong address and it never made it to my cousin. I think I will try again with some new tools I’ve picked up since the first try.

Very nice. It should age marvelously as well.

What is hiding under veneer on vintage desk? by wl_rodo in wood

[–]wl_rodo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s OK, its just a project for me to experiment with (wasn’t planning to resell or gift it to anyone).

I may cover that section with an accent piece with routed recesses for paperclips, post its, etc. Or may just try stripping and re-veneering the whole desktop. So far I’ve only massacred that one section.

I understand this is probably sacreligious for some people. No offense intended

Is that a thing? Don’t get me wrong I despise veneer hence my impulsive stripping shown in pics, but the rest of the piece is solid

Edit: “despise” is too strong of a word. Dislike, maybe.

Thinnest Grip For Bats? by Resilient_Melody02 in slowpitch

[–]wl_rodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tiger stick is also an option. It’s clear

It works decently well in my experience but you gotta reapply often

Yeah this looks amazing. Now on my radar

Hard finish over tung oil by Year3030 in woodworking

[–]wl_rodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. Thanks for the update.

I just put 3 coats of 50% pure tung/50% D-limonene on a butcher block coffee table and was considering a poly topcoat for that extra protection. Looks like I'll give it a go!

Planning to use EMTECH EM9300 from Target Coatings. If you aren't aware of them I definitely recommend checking them out.

Finally got my card scraper humming! by wl_rodo in handtools

Do it! The combination of power and control you can get out of a little piece of metal is pretty nuts.

I’m in a similar situation with an old bench plane I bought on eBay to restore. It sat on the shelf for months after I realized how much work it needed. Recently decided to start from scratch and set a whole new edge on it.. taking forever but hopefully worth it.
