So, with the Andy Rooney video fresh in our minds, I took my wife to the woodworking show we had here last weekend. There, she forced me to buy two slabs of wood as follows:
- Black walnut crotch, abot 4' x 2' 1.75" (ends waxed).
- Cherry burl about 32" dia x a little over 2" thick. (both surfaces waxed)
They are both destined for table tops. So I have two questions.
Question 1. I intend to put plastic down on my basement floor, then some sticker material, then a slab, then some more sticker material, then a plywood panel and some weight. This is to allow the material to dry before I use it. Is this the best approach? Did I miss something?
Question 2. I wish to solicite recommendations on an affordable moisture meter so I know when I can start to make the tables. Suggestions, please.
Thanks
