RE: Reclaimed Lumber - A Simple Project

in #reuse7 years ago

Great. It turned out well. I am looking forward to seeing your cabinet. My top tip for any furniture design or woodwork project is , that wood will only swell and shrink across the grain. It will not move along the grain and is actually more stable than metal, which is why the used it for pendulums on grandfather clocks. So make allowances for it to move ( even if it is seasoned) and you are on to a winner. Thanks

That is good advice! It helps me decide how I'm going to lay the boards on the tops of my cabinets! Thanks!

No problem. Thanks
