You use your Met/ Life card as a spacing gauge? I guess it is good to have nearby when working with high speed sharp objects.

Wow you gys think these look like plywood?

JHC, this is wood that would have been flooring boards.. I got a great deal on this from my Bro-In-Law

otherwise to purchase this type wood, it would run me around $32.00 a board foot..

you remember the cheap walls that they had back in the 80s...the top looked all nice (like your), but right under the surface was that sawdust plywood stuff. i think they called it something like vineer. i forget...too many years in japan...the answer over here to any household wood question is "cedar".

I'll have to take a better pic once the glue sets up today and I can get the clamps off this one...

I don't work with vineer's.. but yes that's what they used back then.. still do today as well..

BTW, it is beautiful. I like the way the grains change color like that.
