Popular Post Tom King Posted July 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 There was a time when Yellow Pine was good enough to build cabinets from. These are in the last house that I was able to. It was 1991, and the last such good building supplier/sawmill went out of business the next year. The panels in these doors were built from 1/2" thick boards that came out of their stacks, not flattened, and planed down to size. I doubt many of you have ever worked with any. Back then, it was stable, and no more stress in it than anything else. They air dried it for a year on stickers, and then kiln dried it. These days, they saw it, and kiln dry it that night. The top rails aren't really darker than the rest of it. It's just something funny about the lighting. I know some of you don't like Pine anyway, but it was cheap, and there was always a buyer without having to wait very long for one to come along. We were working on this house today because it had taken a direct hit by a small tornado, and we had some reassembly to do, but that's another story. edited to add: I think the microwave, and range are from 1991 too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted July 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Finish is wiped on Moisture Cure Urethane floor finish, and color is from age. It will get darker probably for the next hundred years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
