    Hey, Recently bought some 3 inch thick elm planks, dried for 5-10 years in a barn. The surface moisture content is now 16-17%, which is pretty much the yearly average in my area. My ultimate goal is furniture. Since I don't plan to live like the Flintstones I want to dry the planks further...

    I bought some live edge walnut that was air dried for about 5 years. After flattening it I notice this greyish bubbly pattern in the sapwood. It's not all along the piece just in a few areas. Is this anything to be concerned about?

    I saw an example furniture online and really liked how they curved the rod on the chair. I was wondering how do you usually go around doing that? I know steam bending is one option but I think there must be an easier way to get around with this. Thoughts? Would be great if you have some resource...

    Got this kid's stool, the My Little Stool, at an antique store some years ago. I've pulled it apart [screwed together mostly] and I'm starting to try to update the finish of it. The piece with the lettering is the back of the seat, which becomes a step when the arms are rotated down. There were...
