  • ^example i pulled from Google

    So, fyi my degree is in ecology, but my understanding is that local inconsistencies in temperature cause areas of uneven heating, so I’m certain areas the liquid is moving up, causing it to move down in adjacent areas that are cooler, which sets up little circular currents. The distribution of them, though, is pretty random.

    The visible bits are just the gunk that’s always on the bottom of cider jugs





  • I’m really not gonna know if this is anything but a pipe dream until the tree removal company cuts into it. For all I know it’s rotted all to hell and is worthless

    But if it isn’t, what an opportunity. To take a tree from my backyard and turn it into a hopefully gorgeous workbench. That’s a dream come true


    1. I don’t know the moisture content, it’s already mostly dead, just standing.
    2. it’s ten feet from my house, logs will be stacked and milled in the driveway after the crane takes them out of the backyard
    3. fair point about the pith, that was kind of what I was getting at with the question, so thanks
    4. of course you’re right, for the same reason plywood is so dimensionally stable. BUT, theres a few other factors I’m considering

    First, cool factor. I just kinda like the idea of just a few massive hunks of wood stuck together into a table. Appeals to the caveman brain

    Second, actually practical, laminating the top basically quadruples the surface area id have to get square and true, and since I’m likely doing this all by hand, that’s like two months of work right there, I’ve got a one year-old bumbling around here
