I'll agree with Phinds... Mainly because every time I disagree on a species he proves me wrong :yes::no::yes::smile::laughing:To clarify I initially used hand saws but switched to a reciprocating saw to split and rough cut to small boards. I then hand planed one side to flat and then ran them through a thickness planer and trimmed the edges and ends on my table saw. The wood is hard and heavy, dulled the saw blades quite quickly. I must say I would still love to do everything by hand but can't find a hand rip saw anywhere in these parts. Maybe I can find one for sale online.
Thanks very much for this, I appreciate the advice and assistance!firemedic said:I'll agree with Phinds... Mainly because every time I disagree on a species he proves me wrong :yes::no::yes::smile::laughing:
