This is a huge topic and I have several links in the text. Each leads you to more details about a particular topic on wood or the characteristics of wood (or a related subject), so make sure and check them out. I guess it comes as no surprise that I love wood. It starts with my love of trees. The door panels are cherry with mineral streaks running through them. On the drawer front, on the lower left, you can see where a branch divided the heartwood and sapwood of the walnut (the solid light band is maple I laminated for further contrast).

Lumber yards often toss this sort of thing into the mark-down bin, or even the burn pile. So, next time you're out in the woods take a look around and enjoy the fresh air, then trot over to your local lumber yard and see if they have any good discards.

Vega 50" Utility Fence I had some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket and I wasn't all that happy with my stock Jet fence, so I decided to upgrade. It didn't help that Woodworkers Warehouse was having a 10% off sale and Redmond Machinery had some great prices on some scratch and dent Biesemeyer Fences.

I also wanted to make an outfeed table and I thought I should have my new fence before I embarked on that project. After much thought and back and forth trying to decide on either the Beisemeyer 50" HomeShop or the Vega, I decided on the Vega. If I had my preference, I would have liked the 40" model, but they stopped making that model a few years ago. The main attraction of the Vega over the Biesemeyer is the micro adjustment feature. The way it operators is that you unlock both levers and move your fence. Below is a picture of the machined underside of the fence. Installation:Installation of the fence was a snap. Below you can see one of the hangers for the front rail.
