I’m finally to the finishing stage of the cabinet that I’ve been working on, and I put the first coat of oil on the marquetry door.

As I was about to start putting oil on, I noticed that there were some spots in the top left corner where the glue hadn’t adhered properly, and some of the veneer wasn’t sticking to the MDF underneath. The reason I noticed was because I could hear a difference in sound as I ran my fingers over it.

It’s amazing, at least as a hearing person, how much of woodworking involves listening. Usually it’s listening to the machines - things like gauging whether blades are making a clean cut or knowing when to stop lowering the sander - but sometimes it’s listening to the wood itself, in a very literal way.

I was able to use an X-Acto knife to smoosh glue under the pieces of veneer that were coming up, so hopefully that problem is now fixed.

I am looking for like-minded people in the fediverse for sharing thoghts, projects and information about woodworking, woodcarving and especially spoon carving. How can I find these people?
Are there any existing groups or servers with these topics?
Retoots / Boosts are appreciated!

Como me encantan éstas transiciones que hacen en algunos tiktoks de #woodworking

Si fuera así de fácil perdería el chiste y encanto del arte claro.
But is so #satisfying

I had an oak board and an old stick of (I think) a hazel branch sitting around. So having done a little reading about rustic furniture, I got inspired and made a little milking stool.

I know it's considered "bad taste" by some but I really like this style. I also think it's kinda cute that the natural bends of the legs anthropomorphize the stool. It looks like it's taking a step.
