Why did you box joint in the long grain? That is creating end grain to end grain glue joints. Typically all joints are going to be cut in the end grain so that you have a long grain to long grain glue bond. The question was asked... 6 hours ago, Mike. said: I could see why this seems intuitive, but Tom is correct. Structurally it is an unsound joint. Also, I assume you glued to bottom to all four sides. 2 of the sides will be cross grain relative to the bottom. if they try to expand, eventually the bottom will crack. And followed up... To be clear, these are two of the best twenty feed back voices here. Accosting them will drive them off like HHH and ParticleBoard. Then we are just a bunch of wanderers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a question of whether or not it was built correctly. The fact that we can't talk about the right and wrong way to construct a wooden item on a woodworking forum - to be frank - is why we lose some of the most helpful members of said forum. No one intends to hurt feelings, but if you wanna make an omelet, you gotta break a few eggs. I'm not here to hand out participant trophies. This place is getting silly with the ridiculous level of sensitivity. Sorry. Thank Jesus. I'd "like" this 100x if I could. I think society, at least in the US, has given up on self criticism. If you can't criticize yourself, it makes sense that you can't tolerate it from others. That's my theory anyway. I can't speak for anyone, but I visit a forum to learn from - and talk to woodworkers that are smarter and better than me. This is how I will get better. Then, I will chop off their heads with my sword and obtain their power. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could post a question about one of your pieces, if I ever get to see one, so Mike can answer that one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I value your feedback also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Back on topic, I like walnut and white pine together, especially with an oil-based finish, and a little age. Structurally, the hardwood and softwood don't always play well together, though. I think it is a combination best reserved for small items in a controlled environment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing segmented bowls and such with pine as the bulk of the piece, using Walnut, Oak, and Paduak for color. I just use the 1x2 boards from the box store, and they have nice grain and reflectivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
