Show notes

Yep you read it right. I needed a flyswatter at the lumber yard so I went the typical woodworker route and split out some Hickory then shaved it for the perfect thing and flexible handle then cross laminated Maple, Oak, and Walnut veneers then finally created a fretwork rose pattern on the face.

Show notes

If you have followed any of my blogs or podcasts for long you will know of my aversion to jigs and guides of any sort.

I hope you will gain some insight from this review and find it to be a fair and balanced review.

RWW 199 Pencil Boxes Jan 04, 2016
