Wonderful to see Miss Anissa again.

I have recently been building small sofa side tables- and one of the most popular seems to be the poplar tops with sapwood and dark streaks. It’s quite beautiful!

He should flip that bench top over and fill it with epoxy and star wars vehicles

It has been a gradual process but I can truthfully say that I seem to have reached the point where Poplar is the first wood I choose - never thought poplar would end being my favourite wood, but there you are. Only real downside is that it tends tomake me want to colour the wood where I never did that before.

“Those Shakers were not screwing around.”
Not surprising given their oath of celibacy😊

I cannot picture what you mean on the half lap or haunched method of doing the shelves. Please show some pictures.
