Pottz - he was doing woodturning but hasn't had the time in recent years. He also is pretty good at woodburning. This was a joint project we did - him the woodburning and me the "frame."
Corelz125- I know, of all people, how did I not go with walnut?!? Had to go for a "match" with other areas so the white oak took the spot. The idea to use the frame back holders was my husband's. Worked nicely.
I will say, the smooth finish on the first board edge I jointed had me glad I made the purchase. Looking forward to learning more and perfecting my technique for face jointing.
