I am attempting to stain a pine crib white. (pine to preserve the bites and bangs of a special infant) So I need a safe white stain and protective coating product. I tried white wash pickling from minwax on a test piece and it's simply not white enough, even after 4 coats. I'll tell the...

I have air-dried black walnut planks that were stickered and stored in my garage for the last seven years. Yesterday a local specialty woods yard planed them to ~ 3/4 thickness and the planer operator took a moisture reading which turned out to be 12% which was what he had predicted. He...

Over the years, we have had people come to our door asking if we were willing to sell our black walnut trees. At the time, no; we had no interest. However, now because we will be moving, we would like to sell the trees. Unfortunately, no one has returned to ask if we've changed our mind, so...

Was supposed to be cutting lumber for a counter-top but couldn't bring myself to cut the natural edge off of these planks!! They screamed table-top! One piece is 19"wide in the center and the other is 16"wide. They are now weighted down in the kiln to begin their drying journey. I coated them...

Any one have advice about having a black walnut tree taken down. We have one on our back yard that needs to come down. It's about 24" in dia. at the base and has a little curve to it as it is growing away from a large maple. It's affecting my wife's garden and she finally wants it out. We are in...
