CA = cyanoacrylate?
What's the deal with that?

It's not about dangerous. I can handle danger, it's just I like using things I know will work. If I try to DIY something on a treasured piece of wood and it doesn't work...oh hell no.
The Ginger just got in a shit-ton of exotic wood and I'm like a geek nerding out over some of the beautiful ones. I think the Kona is my favorite right now. He also got a burl that has bullets in it and I think we both understand now why people use a metal detector over those lots before they buy them, however he didn't think about it. I kind of want to make a table with it and leave the bullets in there.
Last year I made a coffee table out of some tile and wood I found in the old shed that came with this house. Painted the wood an oil based arctic white to preserve the wood (after sanding it smooth) and the odd colored tile matched it perfectly. I traded it several months ago for a 'unique' one that went more with the style that's slowly evolved in restoring the house. Every since then people have been asking me to make one like it for them.

I drove one up here. LOVED it! The convertible top and big tires weren't so practical though and it eventually got sold.
For soft and punky wood, it soaks into the pours and hardens. I haven't used it yet but I guess you can buy it in like litre bottles and squirt in it with a pointy tip glue bottle and it basically hardens right away then you continue turning

If you look at my profile and then threads I've started you'll see my knife making thread. I think it's time to start another one on the board in terms of furniture or whatnot.
You table sounds really cool, id like to see pics of it.
.....
Why would that not be practical there
The convertible top I could see being an issue during the brrrrrish months, but I'da thunk the thick tires would serve you well up there.
Probably not the greatest on mileage either, I suppose.
I immediately thought of it rusting away when you said you drove it up there....Because I never got to take the top off for long and didn't have a garage. The bimini top was just too cold. The hard top was a bitch to remove unless there were several men around.
It was a GAS HOG and great for summer driving but it had Cali tires made more for the mud than the snow. A few years back I saw it sitting, rusting in someone's yard.

That is a damned shame.
Who weighs more....Wings or Buttrs?
I was in Yellowknife last summer.
You would not believe all the old stuff sitting rusting away up there.
A guy with a good trailer and some time and a few bucks could pick up some cool stuff..40's 50's 60's 3 ton trucks and stuff allover the place
I went and found some recent pics....Wings must weigh 250lbs.
The pics she's using here must be from the 1980's.

I had a sudden jolt thought of getting it back and fixing it up now that the igloo has a 4 car garage...but, it would have been sinking too much money back into it.
I look for it every time I drive that road, and don't see it anymore.
