Hi Matt. Love the channel. I recently saw a video from blackdogurbanartistry that recommended not using exotic woods like purple heart, mahogany, birch, pine ad some others because of the toxicity levels that can cause contamination in food. Have you heard of this or do you have any concerns about it?

@nategemelli9414 Жыл бұрын

It's interesting that you joint your edge before you run the face through the jointer (or at least that is the order you showed in the video). Why is that? I always thought you want to joint face first then use the flattened face against fence for 90 deg edge? Great job on this, I'm just curious about your workflow.

@MWAWoodworks Жыл бұрын

I think that was just editing. You're right you would flatten one face and then square up the edge

@theduftmeister Жыл бұрын

Any reason why you re-did the inlay piece due to burning when you chopped off the end anyway with the tracksaw? (Or maybe I missed something in the process). NOT criticising!, just curious. Stunning piece of work, beautiful piece.! 👍

Well the star pattern on the flag is perfectly symmetrical so it's not hard. Just carve out the inside of the star on one piece of wood and carve out the outside area around the star on another piece of wood. I'm pretty sure I found the vector file for the 50 stars for free by googling it.

My experience agrees with that. The only real difference I've found is Padauk when oiled up is a brighter red where blood wood is a much deeper darker red. They both give the board an overall different look so I think preference plays a part there.
