Well I bought a bunch of the red oak for some mission plans that I am
going to begin working on.

I figured even for the table top (coffee) I only have to glue up three
boards intead of a 8 to get the 24" width that I need.

They had some nice 3-1/2 inch boards in 5 ft lengths. I figured they
would be good for making jigs too....

Brings me to my next point about mission furniture.
Who makes the best mortise machine for the $$$$?

Thanks!
