Tis a good time for guys like me who, in the past, defied the cross grain gluing gods with reckless abandon. It has rained a lot, humidity remains high, and the cracks and splits in my early furniture pieces have closed up and become completely invisible.
I know, winter is coming, but, fortunately with aging my eyes are not what they used to be. As long as I don't wear those close work glasses when I pass said furniture........
