Since this is my first question in LumberJocks Forum,I have to say this is quite helpful webpage for all woodworkers,especially for amateurs like me.
Before I started my hobby,woodworking, I bought one bigger plank of Khaya wood. It is 2.5m long,30cm wide and thickness is 52mm. What I know now,and didn't know before buying it, is that it's very hard to work with this wood
Or it's not?! That why I'm writing this…
What I found as a biggest problem with this tree,is that after cutting it,I put it trough planer…uhh,one more time,and one more time and then i realized it's gone be worst and worst..
This is how it looks like.Surface is always in bad condition,with holes and never smooth.
So I'm kinda stuck here…have this plank,don't know how to properly work with this wood and don't have good idea what to make from it since it is ( for me ) hard to work with this wood.
Any solution,idea or advise would be appreciated since here is possible to find a lot of great woodworkers.
