Thread: Buying wood from Rockler

I think they do it to help prevent it from cracking. It is probably fairly wet wood when cut. I have scraped off what I could and turned of the rest. Don't know if that is the correct way of doing it.

Hi Mr. Lara,
I wood scrape 1 side as far as possible, so that you get to the wood, as then the wood will dry out.
Chap had a bit of Tiger Myrtle, completely covered in wax. Got out of Turning, sold it to a neighbor, & he left it for awhile, then decided to Turn it, & nearly Drowned, as it was that wet. That wood was over 7yrs. old.

I live quite near a Town Named Lara, in fact I kind of Started " The Lara Woodworkers Inc."
I think I may have told you this before?.

I actually do remember you mentioning the town, but not the woodworkers inc. That is pretty cool.

Out of the people thati know, i seem to be the only one that has taken a stab at woodworking.

Thanks for the advice, i guess i'll be scraping that the old fashioned way.
