A piece of firewood someone gave me ...

[Phil Pascoe]

A piece of holly with a yew inset. About 11" x 4". Better than burning it.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

No idea why the last one showed twice :?

Nice and chunky.
Doesn't look like firewood to me, either!

 

[Lons]

Nah it's rubbish, send it to me and I'll turn it, oops I meant burn it! :wink:

 

[Phil Pascoe]

The chunkiness was necessity rather than choice - the wood was falling apart , especially on the cut ends. As it was I had to saturate it with Rustin's Plastic to stabilise it.

Can you build that stuff up, or is it better to use resin? I am making a "booze cupboard" worktop out of uneven materials and need it to end up flat. Planned on using the resin I have used on other things before now, but if the Rustins works out cheaper and can be poured, might try that instead? I think I am answering my own question now, the resin probably costs a lot less than that much of the Rustins.

Still, I've typed it all now.

As you were.

No, it doesn't cure very well if used too thickly. You'd need a West Systems product or something like it.

What am I, made of money?

I'll use that for gluing but not for chucking all over by the bucket load, I'll stick to the industrial grade stuff I normally use.

Cheers though.

Well, it got a third in the novices at C.A.W.'s TOTY.
