Popular Post ChelCass Posted January 24, 2022 Popular Post Report Posted January 24, 2022 A few cutting in the new shop. The Ice skate, Dream Catcher and Cupid are cut from 1/4 inch Furniture Grade Pine ( my new favorite) . I bought the pine at Johnson workshop and I really like it. It cuts easy and there is very little sanding. Has anyone else used this wood? Thoughts? danny, Dave Monk, Jim Blume and 13 others 16 Quote
spirithorse Posted January 24, 2022 Report Posted January 24, 2022 Great work! I never heard of the furniture grade pine. God Bless! Spirithorse Quote
Dak0ta52 Posted January 24, 2022 Report Posted January 24, 2022 Never heard of furniture grade pine either but from the looks of your pieces I'll have to check on it. Very nice. They look very smooth. Quote
ChelCass Posted January 24, 2022 Author Report Posted January 24, 2022 We have a specialty lumber store called LL Johnson lumber aka the Workbench. This is where I buy my lumber. A little more pricey (not bad) but much better then the Big Box stores. Here's picture of the label. When I googled Pine furniture grade a lot came of as Common Grade???? Quote
FrankEV Posted January 24, 2022 Report Posted January 24, 2022 Google search produced this definition of "Furniture Grade" Quote Although you hear the term “furniture grade plywood” bandied around from time to time (usually by people who don’t know any better), there really is no such thing. Furniture is an application in which plywood is used; but there is no such grade of plywood. Rather, the term “furniture grade” is a loosely used term, primarily referring to plywood with a letter grade identifying the quality of face veneer, which would make it acceptable for use in building furniture. danny 1 Quote
wombatie Posted January 25, 2022 Report Posted January 25, 2022 Lovely work. The pine looks great and if there is little sanding that is certainly a bonus. Marg Quote
kywoodmaster Posted January 25, 2022 Report Posted January 25, 2022 In the lumber business that is called C common white pine. Basic definition is no knots larger than 1/8". If you are buying that for the price marked on the tag that is a great price. That works out to be $4.40 per board foot. I was paying that for it 10 years ago. The dream catcher is killer. danny and ChelCass 2 Quote
Norm Fengstad Posted January 25, 2022 Report Posted January 25, 2022 Pine makes nice ornaments especially when cut so cleanly as your's are Quote
