Looks like a piece of rawhide my dog’s been chewing on
That’s some interesting joinery in the background. Whatcha making?
The most visible piece isn’t technically joinery, but cutouts for my vise grip. Though the boards on the side are legs and stretchers for the workbench, all half laps. Just started that glue up last night
Very nice! Hope everything goes well!
You had to say crispy… now all I can think of is pulling out my planer, taking a slice, and tossing it into the deep fryer just to see what forbidden flavors exist.
Have you ever microwaved a piece of wood to force dry? I have and man - what a smell… I can remember it even now.
taste better with the toaster oven
That sounds like a wonderful way to make a splinter bomb or start a fire.
Not impossible, but I use bursts of about 30s max, it doesn’t even get overly hot. Otherwise, something even scarier can happen - it may case harden 😮. Jokes aside, I’ve only done it for very specific occasions, perhaps a few times in my whole life. I’d invest in a kiln or just buy dry lumber to start with.
Mmmm piney
Honestly, that’d very probably be edible and delicious
I’m glad there’s lumber in the background because at first I thought this was a condom and that provided the necessary context for me to realize what I was seeing.
So satisfying when that works! What are you making?
Building a workbench so I can do more hand planing!
Fine planer slices like that trigger some weird monkey brain reward pathway. I just wanna shave a board down to nothing to have all the plane ribbons.
I have a trash bag full. I can get you more if you want to jump into a pile like autumn leaves.
They make great kindling.
Yeah trying to give them away to someone who can use them
I was thinking more like that scene in Scarface where he’s just covered in coke.
