I have only ever worked with Oak, really. We made some windows out of Pitch Pine, but as we sliced some 200 year old mill beams up for that job the wood wasn't notably harder. It always seems to cut cleanly, but you have to hit it hard :-) -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
