You had to say crispy... now all I can think of is pulling out my planer, taking a slice, and tossing it into the deep fryer just to see what forbidden flavors exist.

    Have you ever microwaved a piece of wood to force dry? I have and man - what a smell... I can remember it even now.

    That sounds like a wonderful way to make a splinter bomb or start a fire.

    Not impossible, but I use bursts of about 30s max, it doesn't even get overly hot. Otherwise, something even scarier can happen - it may case harden 😮. Jokes aside, I've only done it for very specific occasions, perhaps a few times in my whole life. I'd invest in a kiln or just buy dry lumber to start with.

    Fine planer slices like that trigger some weird monkey brain reward pathway. I just wanna shave a board down to nothing to have all the plane ribbons.

    I have a trash bag full. I can get you more if you want to jump into a pile like autumn leaves.

    Get or make a spill plane. It produces these tightly curled yet long shavings that form kind of a little stick. They're intended to transfer fire from one place to another, like lighting candles, stoves etc. from an existing fire source, kind of like one of those long matches, but without the match head.

    So satisfying when that works! What are you making?

    That's some interesting joinery in the background. Whatcha making?

    Beautiful

    Bought a hand plane, sharpened it, it's... Fine, but bites way too deep.

    Meaning it rips material out? Or the depth of cut is just too deep?

    just too deep, needs a bit more tuneing.

    Adjusting the depth of cut is kind of a constant thing. I adjust multiple times per board depending on how much I want to take off. It takes some practice to figure out how to deal with slop. If there's no depth wheel, it's even more tricky with tapping

    I'm glad there's lumber in the background because at first I thought this was a condom and that provided the necessary context for me to realize what I was seeing.

    Looks like a piece of rawhide my dog’s been chewing on
