Chris Schwarz has posted a wonderful review of my third book on his blog.
He must be a mindreader, as he points out that many threads from the previous volumes have been tied up or expanded. There is also a nice story of our first meeting in the hot and humid flatlands of Indiana. Thank you Chris. Popular Woodworking Blog |

David, I've read all your books and watched all your DVD's. Together, they are an excellent resource. Thanks for all your work teaching. One question- In your first book you advise against "center deepening" timber as it leads to cupped boards. This term is not one I've heard in the States. Could you explain its meaning? Thanks, Nevin |

Nevin, Thank you. It is a little obscure. 'Centre deeping' means ripping a one inch board into two half inch boards, by cutting through the centre. This exposes the middle of the plank which will always be wetter or dryer than the surface. Unless the board is very old, air dried and stable, the two thinner planks are liable to cup alarmingly in their width. Stored tension in the surfaces of kiln dried timber will cause instant cupping. Drying may cause further movement as time passes. Hope this makes sense, best wishes, David |
