  4. Projects Pine storage trays

    I needed some storage trays sized to hold a specific number of a specific item per tray.

  11. General Woodworking Discussions
    I've been using blue stain, 'beetle kill' pine with water-based polyurethane finishes for about 5 years, I've been very happy. Until today. I now realize that the water based finish may not yellow, but over time the pine sure does. It crept up on me but now I see it. Dang, I bought into the idea...

    This is a housewarming gift for my brother and sister in law. They purchased an almost 150 year old house so I thought this would fit for them. The wood came from an old house I helped tear down and from an old airport hanger being dismantled close by where I live. The wood was old growth...
