Questions/Answers
What native woods are suitablefor building a rustic log-typestair-railing? Use downed woodfrom storm?
Recent Ice storm created an abundance of downed branches ranging in the right size- 2"- 8" in diameter- and I want to build a fence type handrail system for my stairway and top of stairwell with top and bottom rails with smaller vertical "sticks" between. I would prefer not having the bark on the wood and am prepared to draw it off. I am very handy, built the stairs myself, and patient. Is this downed wood OK to use- do i need to wait until it is dry for shrinkage before carving off the ends? let dry first? I have access to LOTS of ornamental silver leaf maple- is it too soft? Also sassafrass, red cedar, and limited amounts of black walnut. I could mix and match. Please any wood workers who know their woods help me with selecting and preparing the right wood for my project- and also any construction tips- much to chainsaw and I dont want to cut up something I might need later. Thanks.
If this is indoors, you don't need to treat it for bugs. Any species will work for a handrail. Soft woods are just bad for structural elements, like beams, although they can be used for that, too, if they are big enough. The others gave pretty good advice about curing the wood for a long time before using, although, if you really knew what you were doing it wouldn't matter. There are tricks to using green wood. As for plugging screw holes, use a plug cutter. It's a bit that fits in a drill that cuts out a tapered plug. You will definitely see the plugs, though, no matter how you cut them. For invisible joints, use screws up under the bottom rail and mortise the spindles into the top rail. It may be a bit laborious, but for a one time project, it would look better. You just glue the spindles into the mortise and pin them through the side with finish nails (one per spindle should do). This will keep the spindles from turning if they ever do come loose.
What woods are good forhamsters and what are bad?
I want to make some things for my hamster out of wood but I'm not sure what types of woods are good to use. I've heard that pine causes respiratory problems.. what else should I stay away from? Thanks xoxo.
Use woods from fruit trees such as apple, pear & plum as these are probably the safest. If unsure, many petshops stock a range of toys and wooden sticks designed especially for hamsters and other small rodents. Hope this helps. Good luck & have fun buildling =)
What kinds of aromatic woodsare Catholic rosaries made of?
My mother was given a rosary in Italy about three decades ago. It was made of some kind of reddish-brown wood and sterling silver. After twenty years, the wood still had a spicy, rich scent to it. The rosary was stolen a few years ago; I'd like to have another one made for her, but don't know the type of wood. The only aromatic wood in rosaries I've been able to find is sandalwood. Does anyone know of other aromatic woods rosaries can be made of?
It was probably rosewood. But could have been cherry, olive, or cedar.
