Making a new top

Post date: Dec 10, 2016 6:5:15 PM

This piece of wood has some dark stripes and spots, but I think it could be a good one. On the other hand so did I think about the the first top too. It's Finnish spruce cut 1999 and is nicely yellow right through. Heat treated 2014 the usual way I do it. Maybe how the wood feels under the plane and the shavings has something to tell? That's completely different from the other one. The shavings are strong and curls nicely.
