Intarsia / blue pine at menards

« on: October 13, 2012, 10:22:11 am »

Just went strolling thru my local menards here in southeastern wisconsin. I found blue pine mixed in with other pine boards. Found them in 2 x 4" x all lengths, also in 1 x 4 x all lengths. Picked some up for my first intarsia attempt.

I could also raise wax worms.... I do a lot of fishing. lol or better yet bag it up and use it in the spring when I have to re-seed my yard due to the drought. Getting straw is an issue here as ALL of the midwest knows. Believe it or not I am on a prayer mission asking HIM for snow, snow and more snow this winter followed by rain, rain, and more rain.

Finally, finally got a chance to run my new Ryobi planer from Home Depot. What a gem. I can even lift it and walk it around to take outside. Setup was a snap. Did several practice runs and bingo I am off to the races. I would buy this unit all over again if I had to. Now I am pondering what I can use the shavings for? easter basket wood grass?? lol

General Scroll Saw Talk / What is the first step for bandsawing my fallen elm tree?

« on: September 18, 2012, 01:10:01 pm »

I recently returned from a mini vacation to find my elm tree down in my yard. I have a bandsaw and a planner. I want to try using the elm for scroll saw projects vs the fire pit. What are my first steps to do this? Do I cut length, dry etc. or do I remove bark (bandsaw) stack to dry?? I am a rookie when it comes to this...thanx for all your help in advance...
