      You can search for anything woodworking related and often find good free information.
    • Bryan Koppert
       
      For those who are still getting started and those who have been doing this a long time, an online subscription is pretty worth while.  I would still investigate the topic further outside of FWW, but they usually are right on with their information.

Quarter Sawn vs. Plain Sawn vs. Rift Sawn Lumber | Northend Hardwoods - 0 views

  • In a quarter sawn board, the growth rings of the tree are closer to perpendicular to the surface of the board than in most plain sawn boards. In certain species of wood, most notably Oak,  this creates a beautiful visual effect.
    • Bryan Koppert
       
      This is that amazing fleck pattern from the medullary rays that so many of you comment on when you are lucky enough to find a flat sawn board with some of this in it.

      If we made a panel saw like the one in the background, we wouldn't need to crosscut full sheets of plywood on the table saw anymore.

How to Glue-Up Joints: Tips on gluing - Fine Woodworking - 0 views

  • After this, joints can be released from the clamps, but the full glue strength won’t develop for about 24 hours.
    • Bryan Koppert
       
      This is why I always say don't stress the joint for 24 hours.
  • Wet both surfaces
    • Bryan Koppert
       
      I've made these points before as well.

      I say these points over and over.
  • Check the glue
    • Bryan Koppert
       
      I take care of this.  Most of the time our glue is only a year old.  I check the glue that is older.

  • Whereas solid wood shrinks and expands with changes in humidity affecting its overall dimensions, a frame and panel doesn't. Instead, the panel is able to expand and contract freely inside a unchanged frame.
    • Bryan Koppert
       
      The frame also helps keep the panel from cupping.
