The project I'm making isn't very big so ain't using up a whole lot of timber and in any case the teak was 'obtained' from a lifestyle a galaxy away. I do love it, but it don't love my plane blades :roll: :evil: - Rob

I think this is actually a gloat disguised as a moan :lol:
Teak is lovely to work with , it does what you tell it to do . Same as iroko and wenge . I do sympathize with your tools though .

I do love it, but it don't love my plane blades :roll: :evil:

Look on the bright side, Rob - it would be even harder to work if you didn't have such nice planes

Cheers :wink:
