How would I cure this?
Hello everyone, I obtained this slice of southern live oak yesterday from our job site with the intention of making it into a small table. I was wondering how I would cure it or dry it properly to minimize the cracking and splitting. It’s nearly 4ft wide at the largest section, and 7 inches thick at the thickest part. And yes, all permits and permissions were obtained before it was professionally cut down. Thanks in advance.
Game board staining advice
First time working with wood. The board has many flaws but I am happy with it so far as a start.
I am wondering I want to stain the top red and make the holes for marbles to fit in stained dark brown or black. Is this a possibility?
How would I go about doing something like that?
