I'm thinking my days were with the pine and balsa ones...
i finally got an excuse to use that quartersawn oak. needed a small stand to put our snakes cage on. i wanted it to match the other one as they are right next to each other. the oak hat some active beetle infestations, bummer. the boards are all only 1/2" thick so i decided to burn them with a torch in the hope that the heat will penetrate through and kill the bugs. then i hit it with a nylon brush to give it a neat texture. the legs are wine barrel staves like the other table, burnt to match the top. im pleased with how it turned out.thanks all. just regular shipping pallets Butch. ive got a pile of really beautiful quartersawn oak stashed for the next project.
