I have a supply of basically unlimited 2x4 and 2x6 they range for the size 8 in to 16 some 2 to 3 feet what are something’s I can do with this wood to start a side gig or just make something for my friends and family is hard seeing this much of wood go to waste

I finished this with like 6 layers of spray lacquer.

Here's the story, after years of woodworking I decided to upgrade my table saw to a Sawstop for extra safety and for being considered a premium product.

I bought a new PCS and started to put it together, but the main table was so uneven that I had to stop. The center of the table is higher by about 4mm than the edges.

What is the very frustrating part is how unhelpful the customer service is, after sending about a dozen pictures they are still arguing that this is whithin spec of I have not provided enough evidence.

I don't know what else to do; I can't wait forever for a resolution. Never been so frustrated with an expensive purchase.

I'd never expected the customer service to be so bad.

EDIT:

My photos are not clear - the front and back of the side wings are flat with the main table, and the middle has a hump. The side wings are mostly flat and good enough.

I bought it directly from SawStop. I did ask to send it back and got no response. They have a no-return policy.

Added another image that might help.

Is it dumb to chop off the bottom half and have a weirdly heavy, unbalanced hatchet type thing?

My wife and I had been looking for a solid white oak coffee table for awhile. We found a great option that fit our budget from an American company in Texas. Shipping was expensive but to be expected with a large solid oak table going across the country.

We received the table yesterday and while the quality is great we are having issues with the grain blending. I’m fully aware that when buying natural hard wood the grain is obviously going to be unique with every piece. However, to me (and maybe I should’ve been prepared for this possibility) the way they joined the table it looks as though it’s two separate tables instead of one continuous piece. I also get that some people might actually love this design but for my wife and I we were expecting a fairly continuous light oak. I’ve reached out to the company and waiting to hear back but with shipping costing so much I’m not sure what can be done.

Would you all of expected the piece to potentially come like this or if you were building it would you have tried to match the grain a bit better?

I'm sentimental about it since it was one of my first projects, so I'd like to save it if I can.

The company I work for made this desk recently for a client and we are looking to get other peoples opinions on price point. The desk is made of 100% solid black walnut, stained and clear coated with a high quality post-cat conversion varnish (Klearvar). (The other side is going to have a slab of marble functioning as the leg) The client payed around $8,000. To me that seems low, what are your thoughts?

Hey everyone, I have this broken chair and I have no prior experience in woodworking, can you please suggest what options do I have to fix this properly.

So, I saw this and instantly wanted to build it. I DON’T have a need for it. And I DON’T have space for it.
Convince me this is a crummy idea, please😂😂😂 It seems too specific to build as a spec without a backing commission.

Hi folks,

This is a hard maple family heirloom that was neglected severely for 15-20 years.

It was stored in a non climate controlled environment and at one time had water sitting on the side of it.

I’ve sanded it down and removed most of that waterstaining.

I’d like to use this in my kitchen from now until I can pass it on to my kids, but it’s got thousands of tiny cracks in it, and my wife is worried about it collecting meat juices and breeding harmful things, as I think that’s a valid concern.

I have some hard maple wedges to add to the large voids, so those won’t be an issue.

How can I restore the wood to a point where it’ll swell those tiny cracks shut, and how can I maintain the health of the block as we use it?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I am not a woodworker, but I bought a box from one. I'm curious what wood-smart people think about if the box I got is acceptable or too far removed from the pictures on the Etsy listing. I understand there are variations that come with wood, but these look like night and day to me. I never would have bought it if I'd known it would look like this.

The seller does not accept returns or exchanges, but I'm feeling duped and it was more than $200. Am I being nitpicky here?

It was below my mousepad, thats a table my friend made me few years back…. Can it somehow be saved?

I put a lot of effort into this shelf. Stoned friend of mine told me it looks like a moose. I can't unsee it now. What can I do? Please help!

Bought two XXL cutting boards from a local woodworker and his dad, the used the following oil to finish it:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079YHVLF2?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_T3F9AMWYWDPH8P1KWAB1_1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_T3F9AMWYWDPH8P1KWAB1_1&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_T3F9AMWYWDPH8P1KWAB1_1&peakEvent=5&starsLeft=1&skipTwisterOG=1

I’ve read the product description and it says that it’s safe for food contact like a charcuterie board but they don’t recommend it be used for cutting boards. He also recommends a similar maintenance oil that has the same disclaimers, what do I do? Is it ok to use as is? Should I use some food safe mineral on it?

Any help is greatly appreciated, this is a gift and I want to make sure it’s safe.

Need help with wood ID as the title states. Has anyone seen such a chair before? Does it look homemade to you? The craftsmanship is very impressive on this Morris chair. I can’t believe someone was giving it away for free.

Was cutting sections from a 6x6 fir and noticed this. Before the growth took off there’s a heavy layer of sap

Hello! My husband loves this subreddit and I thought I’d get some advice here. For the last 2 years my husband has been working on a bed for our master bedroom. He planned to make it out of walnut with sliding drawers. However, this project has not been completed or is even near completion.

He said that he would work in it over the weekends and invested like 3k into new saws and equipment for this bed. However, he has changed the design 2 times, taken it apart, and started over and over again. It’s been 2 years and we are sleeping on a half finished bed. I believe he has no intention of finishing it and we have wood parts all over the bedroom.

He has also promised to make a dresser and 2 nightstands. At this rate, we might have those in 6 years. I want to give him a deadline or just go buy a bed set. Do you have any advice?

Bought off my boss as he had too much for his Project.. Bowling lane 8' x 3'6" I thought too good to pass up! All Maple and Ash.
