[Woodcarver] Wood for a project

[Michael]

I have been asked about carving a Fleur De Leis for a bed that will be
stained with a Danish Oil.  Any suggestions on the type of wood I should
use?  The bed he made is of Red Oak.

Thanks

    Join in on the fun!!!
    For informative and fun REAL TIME conversations with a number of the
    carvers on "The List", come to the Woodcarver chats.  We don't always
    talk about carving, but if anyone has a question or comment, we can get
    serious in a hurry.  Get to know the people behind the names.  And bring
    you carving questions with you!!!

    We meet on Wednesday nights at 9:30 PM Eastern and on Sundays at 4:30
    PM Eastern.

    **If nobody is there when you get there, either hang around a while, or
stop back in 10 or 15 minutes.  Be sure to type hello or something when you
get there so people realize you are there.**

    If you are NOT using an IRC chat program, I think you will like these
simplified instructions!!!  Just click on one of these links:  (the first
two links will take you directly to #Woodcarverchat)


http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_mountvernon.html?chan=#Woodcarverchat

http://www.starlink-irc.org/java/java_williamslake.html?chan=#Woodcarverchat

    They will take a LONG time to load!!!!!!!  Don't give up.  When it
finally does load, you will be asked to type in a nickname.....then click
connect, and wait a little bit longer. The chat screen will open....You'll
see a large window with lots of text, and just under it a narrow space...put
the cursor in that narrow space.
     Type     /join #Woodcarverchat      ( you need the /, the #  and
uppercase W) then hit the  "enter" key....and you will be in the right
place.

    *******

    If you are using an mIRC chat program:
      1. Log onto your ISP.
      2. Open mIRC. You should see a box "mIRC Options". If you don't then
click on View then on "Options"  Fill in the information there...you do NOT
have to put in your real name or email address.  For security purposes, make
them up.  Do put in the nickname you want and an alternative.
      4. Click on the button with the sunburst icon, just to the right of
the button that says, "Connect to Server".  Where it says "IRC Network",
scroll down until you see "Starlink-IRC" and highlight that so it shows in
the window.  There is also a Starlink network, so make sure that the one you
select has the "IRC" after it. Now click on the arrow next to the IRC server
window.  That will list a number of Starlink-IRC servers....select one of
them. The Starlink-IRC random server will automatically pick one of the
servers for you, so you can use that one.  With one of the Starlink-IRC
servers in the window, click on
    "Connect to Server"

    If the Starlink Random Server is not in your mirc program you can add
it:
    Click the "add" button.
    Where it says "Description" type "Starlink Random Server"
    Where it says "IRC Server" type IRC.STARLINK-IRC.ORG
    Port should be 6664,6665,6666,6667,6668,6669   (all of those with no
spaces between them)
    and "Group" is Starlink-IRC
      5. Once connected, you'll see lots of scrolling text.  When that
stops, type
           /join #Woodcarverchat in the window at the bottom and hit your
"enter" key.
        (you need the / and #, and Woodcarverchat must be spelled exactly
right)

    See you there!
    E-mail me off the list for additional information and instructions.
    I will also be monitoring icq (48595514) so feel free to message me for
help.
