Yellow poplar Liriodendron tulipfera or tulip poplar for most of us Southerners , is one of two trees in the genus Liriodendron The other is a native of China . Neither are true poplars . True poplars are in the willow family of trees , which also contain the genus Populus cottonwoods and which is Latin for people” and was also the Latin name for tree . I could get confused , too , if I didn’t write all this stuff down . Deep breath I’m almost . through

  • Look Ma, No Clamps

    Updated: 2012-02-22 06:11:28
    A friend of mine used to claim that his favorite tool was his own spit. I'd never claim such a thing publicly, but I do admit to using some rather unorthodox tools at times: I've sharpened paint-can keys to scrape off glue squeeze-out, and ground threaded rod into various shapes for stamping wood.

  • Do-It-Yourself Woodworking With Woodworking Plans

    Updated: 2012-02-21 09:18:36
    Woodworking is a very gratifying hobby, but not to the faint-hearted, or those who stop trying too easily. Anyone who has never put any planning into the project they attempted, might initially give up ahead of completing it. A lot of people who try to be Do-it-yourself woodworkers, become disheartened and overwhelmed, due to the amount of planning needed to be successful. Many will try to make some wood undertaking, but soon let it sit as an unfinished product, never to try it again. There are many stories about folks on the net, who have attemptedto make a table, just to have it collapse to them. The sheds as well as chairs which were unfinished, would boggle your mind with all the amount.?Something was out of whack, can we know what that one component was?
