Title: Yellow dust all over my yellow saw
Post by: dgman on November 13, 2010, 10:02:01 pm: I cut this cross out of yellow heart today and it left a pile of yellow dust all over my yellow saw! Thought I would post this so everyone could see that my saw does get dusty!
Pattern by Steve.

Oh, nice cross too! I've never used yellow heart either. It is really bright! Does it stay like that or will it fade with time?

Very tough to cut but very beautiful in the end result. I gained a whole year's worth of education on that first clock and I'll try anything (except lignum vitae) now!

I guess yellow dust makes you happy for the long time, is better for your health and is much cheaper.

Post by: yyyyyguy on November 14, 2010, 09:26:25 pm: OK, I'll ask, what kind of wood does it come from, I've never heard of a "heart" tree so I'm guessing it's heart wood but from what?? See there are stupid questions ???

Thanks for the offer of the beer and brandy though!
