Every technique , finish option , tool choice or species of wood has innumerable issues related to it . Can I cut a rabbet with a spiral bit Should I try waterbased poly over rosewood What’s the best size of air compressor for both fastening and spraying finish How do I keep end grain on a walnut blank from tearing out when I turn it You get the picture . Start a project or try something new and the questions surface , no matter . what But here’s the upside : you are by no means alone as you stand there at the bench , pondering a situation . No woodworker is an island .
