   Sometimes I almost think I know what I am doing too.

   Another puzzle my wife put together for her daughter is going in it.

   I am not fond of making picture frames but this one was kinda fun.

   Some real nasty stuff that was full of pitch. I pulled it out of a old basement.

   Thinking about one of your posts made me decide to do the 12 sides.

   I got that trellis/arbor done with just 8 sides ( well, two half circles of 4PCS) I had enough stock that was 8" wide, else wise using 6" I woulda had to go with more segments.

   Nasty old pitch pine huh? Tough on the sinuses for me. Good for starting the wood stove tho' that's fer shure.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

   Duane,

   We call it 'fat wood' or 'fat lighter' in Georgia. A friend goes into just harvested areas, bucks the stumps to the ground, splits, boxes it, and sells it to "Plow and Hearth" a TTL at a time.

   Then he reforests the plot.

   I have a bud in Milledgeville , Ga. Near Monticello..all GP timber stands around him..he does the same. I love that fat wood. We don't have much yellow pine up here, but I save old nasty framing lumber that is loaded with pitch when I come across it.

   Built a LOT of furniture when I worked at Tiger Mountain Woodworks, in NC. Almost in Scaly Mtn,Ga. We used Heart Pine for many projects, and man, I got sick of it fast when sanding and planing it, and sawing it, and drilling it and, and, and finishing it! Just the Lac Thinner would re-hydrate the sap and wreak havoc with cat-lac.

   Thats why I thought I recognized it in Doodabug's frame. It gave me the willys..LOLSpheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

    Hey that was nice. I once did a pair of rings similar to that and made a "Bridge" to connect them for a set of round mirrors for an Optometrists office. Came off looking like a giant pair of old round glasses with mirrors for lenses.

   The wood had so much pitch in it that I didn't have confidence in the glue and biscuits are more for alignment I think. Could of used pocket screws If I had them.

   I would have to buy the jig and learn how to do something new again.

   Boss said it looked like I knew what I was doing.
