Hey all! Been in the world of wood working as long as I can remember. East coast of the Americas! Done a bit of wood working up and down the entire east coast. Love practical and artistic wood projects. My favorite wood project I've ever been a part of was milling fallen mahogany after a huge storm and then making placards for the local botanical gardens out of said mahogany! Project I enjoyed the least? Finishing some caustic Brazilian knock off of mahogany. (The saw dust was something akin to chemical warfare) I love wood and enjoy scrolling on Forums. Figured this would be a great outlet for both!

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you'll fit right in.

PICS !!! We must have pics. Rule here is, no pics, it didn't happen, so up til now you haven't actually done any woodworking, have you ? :smile:

Welcome from West TN. What the botanical name for that Brazilian wood? Sounds like something I want to stay away from.

I think it was Entandrophragma cylindricum or sapele we were installing doors in an office. Finished indoor on site :scare3:. Usually use to Swietenia mahogany being that the island I lived on it grew wildly. Of course had on ppe but due to poor ventilation it inevitably became an issue.
