Sissoo
can you help me understand, sap wood in the middle? only on the one side? how big is the piece. my eyes seem to be fooling me
It's hollowed down through the pith , the sapwood would completely encircle it had I centered the piece better. About 10x12. Lots of Sissoo around here. Any in Vegas?
internet says it grows like a weed here, haven't run across any yet. maybe because i wasn't looking. i'll have to check a my landscape tree cutter's place
Got the drawer bottoms cut. Most of them. Turns out I miscalculated somewhere so I need to pick up a couple of pieces of 1/4" Baltic Birch to get the rest of them. Ordered the leveling feet, they'll be here Thursday. Now off to cut the sides and fronts for the drawers.
Getting closer!
Getting closer!
Pictures man, we need pictures... And, don't forget the blue lighter!

Been in the upper 80's here, too damn hot for me to do much. I sweat at work, I really don't want to come home and sweat more!

you people are Sugar, Honey, Ice Tea crazy to live in that stuff.
Sweet Tony, looks like y'all had a cooler day to enjoy!!
91 for a high today... Real Feel was ehhhh - Warm! After today however, mid-80's forecast for about a week, I might even get some shop time in! Also supposed to rain every afternoon. 40% chance tomorrow and Saturday otherwise 60 - 70% chance of rain through next Thursday.
That Tropical Storm sure pushed the heat and humidity. Neither hot or cold usually effect me too much. It has to be pretty extreme. I will admit I appreciate cold weather more than I used to.
Still hate the cold weather but a little cooler would be nice
OH yes... it is a wee bit cooler up here this week than it was end of last week. Thought I was going to die Friday!
You guys haven't loaded up on wood after the big storm? News up here said thousands were without power, must be A tree down somewhere.
Ah you hot weather lightweights! Should be mid 90'sF by noon. And this is rainy season it is actually cooler now. Hot season mid days usually closer to 40-41 (104F) . And I either work outside at the forge or inside my shop with no air con..........
BTW I don't miss the cold and snowy weather at all.

I'm still trying to adjust! After 25 years in ND, FL summers are not exactly my cup of tea!!
Up there you got a week, maybe 2 of 100 degree weather, mid-August. Here however, that 90 - 100 with 75%+ humidity, starts in May, and runs through September, maybe even October.
