Dark red meranti or luan would be my guess from the Philippines.

Have you tried http://www.dustbag.co.uk/ for bags? they might do one for the festool if they do they will be a lot less than £5 each!

No sales pressure then.

Ah! well it sounds as though he should know what he doing then, and if it's for his own house then it probably will be top stuff.

Yes it's durable, straight and fairly knot free but does contain resin pockets that will bleed, and can be a pita to machine sometimes due to splitting. I would want to know more about the quality of the timber though, if its only 8 months air dry it is presumably local grown stuff so won't be...

Luckily I found a stock cutter set that was pretty well a perfect match for what the designer wanted, but it did mean getting a new block to hold them both came from Whitehills. The new block is 80mm tall so its a bit to big to try and grind by hand and eye.

Nathan, each section in hindsight could have been longer but in this case I divided the overall by four, three pieces seemed a bit big and with more short grain at the ends so opted for four. The spindle is a Felder F7, it's OK but wouldn't get another.

Are you sure it's a chisel, I have a spade in my garden not much bigger than that! Nice find though.

In a different thread Davin asked:- Would love to know how to make the curved cornice, have made simpler version for armoires, but the one in your photo would be perfect - scary spindle jigs ? Davin I don't have pictures of the start of making these but did take a few as things started to get...

Sounds like the op has invented the mythical perpetual motion here, (in two ways) going round in ever decreasing circles.

Does he mean scrub plane perhaps?

No afraid not, that's the only piece I have, it was just one short log that I picked up, it growing up an Elm tree that was cut down some 35+ years ago, the log it's self started to end crack very quickly so I cut a few small planks from it which surprisingly dried very well staying very flat.

Oh dear did I make that to easy in the end. yes it's Ivy.

No, Ok last clue "its not so much a weed tree as a tree weed".

Clue it is quite light in weight, yet has a very fine grain you can just about mark the surface with a thumb nail and it is an evergreen.

Make up a wedge to fit between the wall and the batten, make the wedge the same width as the shelf is thick tapering to nothing at the front to 25mm or more at the back so that the shelf is slightly tapered the other way so that it tightens as it goes home, then put a small v grove at the join...

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no and no. in fact nowhere near.

Native grows all over the UK as far as I'm aware. I may be wrong but don't think it has any traditional or commercial uses.
