That's very helpful indeed, thank you! I was thinking a bit larger than that (small box) but if all else fails I might get a tiny quantity as a test piece first. We shall see!

Hi there. Do you still have any of this left (and is it dried)? I just posted a query on the General forum, I'm looking for some for a small project but I can't find less than 2.6m length, which is about 6 times what I need. Thanks in advance!

Greetings all. Does anybody know where I can buy a small amount of wild service timber to try on a small project? I've searched the usual places and a few unusual ones and a 2.6m length is fairly easy to find, but far too much for my needs. Any ideas/pointers? Thank you in advance

Yup I’ve been using a scalpel. Which brings its own problems - gets grabbed by the grain, bends and wanders - but to all intents and purposes = zero kerf

Thank you! You're not wrong - I'm exactly the same :-)

Thank you Brian - that seems pretty logical. Much appreciated - Will try it ASAP!

First completed effort - made a small box for my son's MTG playing cards - worktop cutoffs I bought in a job lot on eBay and some inlay from coloured veneers. Had no idea sapele comes up so nice when you oil it! As an aside - does anybody know a clever technique/hack for matching angles when...

Yes please, I could use a few bits of brass! Copper too, depending on what size mine you've got in there

Thank you!

Good morning! Is this still available or did it sell? Thanks in advance Mark

Not to worry - thanks for letting me know!

Morning! Are these gone? Will happily buy them if not

Welcome!

Apologies for late acknowledgement, been away from the computer for a couple days - all these replies are very much appreciated, thank you all! Lots of mad scientist fun to be had clearly

I've not heard of Peacock, I'll look it up - thank you!

Fantastic, thank you

Thank you, that's really helpful - and the no waste thing is a very good point (though I can imagine there's no end to possible experimentation :-))

Greetings all. Complete novice here. I have a couple of beehives and have always loved the smell of beeswax on/in wood. I've seen several people on here saying they make up their own finishes and I'd like to experiment with that for a series of boxes I'm making. I'd like them to end up...

I have to admit I had to look that up - but you're right, that could work too - thank you

Thanks, Terry. I think it's looking like the way forward is... lots of experimentation :)
