=> Knowledge Base Highlights
This week, WOODWEB's Knowledge Base reached a milestone:
our archives now contain over 4,000 wood industry
articles. The Knowledge Base is truly a one-of-a-kind
resource, offering a vast amount of information from a
diverse array of professionals. Here are a few of our most
recent additions:
One 36" chainsaw, one 125 foot tall Douglas fir, and one
stump-carving sawyer... Sound like a recipe for disaster?
A tree feller gets some sense knocked into him, before the
tree can knock him down...

island is plenty, a frustrated cabinetmaker wonders... If
his customer is just plain wrong, how far must he take the
"customer is always right" principle?
http://www.woodweb.com/knowledge_base/Island_Clearance.html
The Finishing Forum presents a mystery of the
color-changing kind... When a kitchen develops a sickly
cast, the cabinetmaker suspects his customer is keeping a
secret. You must read to the end to discover the truth.
