My timber arrived yesterday, some nice clear pine boards. As usual also nicely cupped, so once a gain I have to start ripping, planing, and gluing back together.
So why did I get dressed timber instead of rough sawn. Well the company I bought it from only supply dressed pine boards. The company’s I found that supply rough sawn had I minimum order that was way more than I wanted, and highly inflated delivery rates. I’m really starting to wonder if it is all worth it. Yes, I know it is the nature of the beast, wood will cup, it just adds a great deal of extra work before you can even start making whatever project you want to make.
Ok rant over ๐

Just remember to always buy oversize for your projects, and acclimatise before you use.[quote quote=15108] Ken I bought my lumber too.

Is the Pine for making the tool chest, if I do make one I think I will be using Redwood ( I think just a type of Pine) that I have used on the other projects I have made to date. -
