So while perusing Make: Online I stumbled across this post reviewing a tool to help us turners (and I presume others) easily find the center of the piece.

Site AdminJohn Moody said… Justin, Sorry I forgot to answer you post about the glue in the cutting boards. I use Titebond III for all of the cutting boards. I tried several others and it just seem to work the best. A little longer open time and sets up good. It is a water proof glue also. I hope you get a chance to make some and please share them when you do.

Bow season starts here Thursday, and I'll be hunting with an ipe selfbow that I made and have used to successfully put meat in the freezer more than once.
