Quarter cut...

See the lighter lines that run diagonally on the wood? Once you stain or put any kind of a finish on it, these become brighter, and shine more...

I have refinished a bunch of stuff made with quarter cut oak (it was very popular at the turn of the 20th century...) It is wonderful, beautiful stuff....

thx carrie! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />...is that what you calll quarter-cut, crossgrain.....same thing?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
all these burls grow like a huge walnut, and to make the table ,
the "walnut" must be cut like a "tomato" in slices,
so you would get maybe 3-4 good sized tables and a few smaller(end) tables,
out of a fair sized burl.
It's just the cross-grain that makes it look so shiny,
after sanding and shaping, and a nice coat of varathane, the thicker the better,
will bring out the hidden glow of the crossgrained cedar wood!
I'll walk down to the ARTSHOPPE......someday... and take some pics,

My parents would like to have a mobile home too one day <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I opened the window today in the morning and saw this "small car". At the first moment I thought I was dreaming - but it was real. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

tsk tsk
Be nice to hardworking Lynn. She's so busy looking after all of us. And we all know that's a really tough job. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I love pics myself, so I decided to post some.

Cute garden gnome
Nice nature image when standing on the "secret" beach - behind this view is the sea
"Secret" beach - full of birds with in the background the marina (but not very clear here...)

Secret beach: nobody ever enters this place, unless you really know how to get there. It's very nice and silent.

Hmmm, Lynn. Let me do a guess..... Oostende???

btw here are some of mine

No, between Lombardsijde and Nieuwpoort, actually at the military domain. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Those fireshow pics are full of magic, Lynn <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> - have you got more of those? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

The show was really super! With some goa-trance music in the background - nice mix.

Thank you - the fire streaks look like ropes - wish, I'd been there.
