Those are amazing! I haven't had much luck at all with the cabs I've made from the pet wood collected here in SD. I haven't had one yet that didn't have pits or fractures...mostly pitting.

I haven't had one yet that didn't have pits or fractures...mostly pitting. thanks! as you can see in at least one of those cabs I get pitting too lol. main problem I run into is varying hardness so undercutting can be a pain. fortunately, most of the pieces I collect are pretty solid. but all are river worn and small so I'm lucky if I get a cpl slices out of one. |

I thought maybe it would make a difference cutting with the grain or against the grain, but it really doesn't seem to make a difference with regards to structural integrity of the slab...at least as far as I've noticed. Have you seen a significant difference with cutting the material one way or the other? (I did see the one with the pitting, but I figured it was like pointing out to someone they have a cold sore...they know it...and no positive outcome can likely result in pointing it out to them. LOL) |
