Hi Guys,
After looking through this fourm for the last cople of days and reading alot of opinions on wood choice for blanks, im still undecided. I think alot of people use a certin type of timber just becouse others have.
So simple question time
What characteristics makes a GOOD choice for a laminated blank?
What characteristics makes a BAD choice for a laminated blank?
Strength?
Hardness?
Ease of machining/working?
Stiffness?
Ageing qualites?
???
I dont want to know what wood I should use at the moment.
I want to know what to look for in making a wood choice
Hope a few of you more talented builders can point me in the right direction
Also have any of you used any type of wood that didnt work? and do you know why??
After I read afew replies Im going to try and find something local/native? that may do the job
Thanks Heaps
Mike
