Re: SC Johnson Paste Wax
Paste wax is wax dissolved in a solvent. Stoddard solvent is used in Johnson's Paste Wax. The first thing that comes to my mind is to leavel the lid off and see if it evaporates. I have had it be too thin after adding solvent to dried wax and fixed it by leaving the lid off for a while which is how ...

Re: Those irksome cut-offs-what to do !
Robert- I see you mentioned handling small pieces of wood on another thread. Do you have any suggestions on easiest ways to dimension something like this ? b It depends on what you will do with them and, of course, what dimensions you want. I will use my miter saw, or Shopsmith table saw if I want ...

Re: What kind of wood is this?
Black Locust - It sure does look like the photos in the Wood Database Wenge - I don't think this would be a match. The end grain looks different. Katalox - I only have one dark board. I'm guessing heartwood. The end grain is different. Rosewood - I don't notice any smell when I cut it, and it does n...

What kind of wood is this?
