[QUOTE="johnlittletree, post: 1508068, member: 105653"] So I have an associate that deals in all manner of wood from pine to Indian Rose Wood. He does a lot though with random hard woods from local tree removals and tree's that fall in storms. He does a lot of furniture for board rooms, restaurants and the like. He knows I build my own stocks ever few years also from what ever I find or from my own backyard like I made a stock and revolver grips for a friend from soft maple nice pink hue inside. So he mentioned he recently got in a lot of hardwood flooring and asked me if I had ever considered doing a laminate? I have not because I always thought it would be hard to work with hand tools unlike natural piece of food. I always thought it must be hard to work a laminate with hand tools. Anyone have any experience. Currently I use chisels, planes, gouge, rougher, sanding blocks, water, heat gun, water based dyes and various Spar Varnish, Drying Oils and French Polish. I am not much of a wood worker so no cabinets or caskets for me! LOL......I am more of a metal guy than a wood guy. [/QUOTE]
