HANDCRAFTING IDEAS INTO WORKS OF WOOD

This is my little niche in electron land. I have been a woodworker for many years and still absolutely love what I do. I have other passions in life and have worked doing many different things, but there is nothing more rewarding than working with my hands, they remain my favorite tools.

DRYING TIME



Drying time can vary depending on humidity thickness of the boards, and the type of wood. Elm being very dense takes up to a year for this 6/4 thickness. I had no idea what I was going to make with this lumber but felt that 6/4 would be versatile enough for several applications. So off to the drawing board and see what develops. This wood will dry for about a year, so more on this later.

This wood was actually cut in late spring of 2009.
