At least in the past, FLAME WARS were mainly woodworking related. *But

often valuable woodworking information was learned.

Politics, especially polarizing politics doesn't do much in the way of
producing any useful woodworking information and frankly, there are
other news groups dedicated to politics that seem, at least to me, to be
a better place for political exchanges - that go on and on and on and on
and . . .

So - a question.

Why all the plans for Arts & Craft / Greene & Greene / Stickley pieces
in magazines - and NONE on chinese furniture and joinery. *There's a
long and
deep pool of joinery and design waiting to be tapped by an editor and I
for one
am awaiting some of that info with great anticipation.

What would you like to see woodworking magazines get into?

Finishing, finishing and finishing, especially coloring. I spend weeks
trying to dial in a color. How can I make a nice warm reddish brown
maple finish?

Just traipse down to Homey's Despot and pick up a pint of MinWhacked
RBS, Sonomy. (Proof of what bears do in the woods.)


How can I age pine such that it looks natural, etc.

Pre- or post-distressed? (Ayieeeeeeeeeeeeee!)
