Lumber and Sheet Goods

I like to slice logs at an angle and use these slabs for fretwork. What do I have to do to keep the bark from drying, shrinking, and falling off the slab?

Can anyone direct me to dealers who supply true ¹⁄₄ ​" plywood?

While shopping for oak veneer plywood to make a dresser, I ran across oak veneer panels with a medium-density fiber-board (MDF) core. I chose plywood.

When I routed ¹⁄₂ "-wide dadoes in ³⁄₄ " melamine, the result was burned steel and carbide bits. Would a dado set in a tablesaw be the better way to go?

When a friend cut a large maple log in half for firewood, the inside was beautifully spalted throughout. Can I dry these pieces in the oven, or would it be better to air-dry them?

A friend has some rough-sawnwalnut that was in his late father-in-law’s basement for 30 years. Now, he wants to get rid of it.
