• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Hello All,

I was looking at some Ponderosa Pine today as I intend to build a large-ish (6'x6') bookcase. It looks like it has gone through a P/T and so the only job will be to plane to thickness (if no movement occurs during drying). There are knots but they clearly cut cleanly and the bloke in the timber yard told me they are stable.

Has anybody experience of working with this wood? Is it good stuff or should it be avoided?

Thanks in advance,

Andy.
 
I'm pretty sure ponderosa is yellow pine. Yellow pine is nice to work with it's quite lightweight , soft with not much difference when cutting or working a cross the grain.
 
Thanks for the replies. I intend to get it this weekend. Once I've done some work with it, I'll post something.
