It’s show #582 - On today’s show, we’re talking about tear out on cherry, stock prep time savings: planer or jointer, and there’s bugs in my nut wood.

Woodcraft is looking out for you guys. Do you know how?
They want to make sure you know what to expect when it comes to this whole tariff debacle. Because tariffs are obviously going to impact a LOT of the major power tool purchases woodworkers make in the foreseeable future.
So while details and dates are somewhat fluid, here are the most current timelines:
- JPW (that’s Jet and Powermatic): June 15th
- Laguna - July 1st
- Sawstop - Mid-July
Woodcraft is trying to be as transparent as possible and they’ll be sending out emails about this in the future. Bottom line is, prices are going up. Woodcraft didn’t set the prices so don’t shoot the messenger.
So if you’re in the market and were thinking about making a major purchase, it probably behooves you to do it now.
In fact, here’s one better. When you go to woodcraft.com, you’ll get a little popup offering you a discount for signing up for their newsletter. Do it, because you can save 10% off your first order. Exclusions apply so you’ll want to read that fine text but hey, a discount’s a discount.

What's on the Bench
- Marc has found his epoxy redemption and completed the mantel project.
- Shannon has started demo on his new deck.
- Matt is fixing stuff...then breaking it again.
Kickback
- Steve Goldberg has Japan feedback for Steve Goodloe. He recommends the Takenaka Carpentry Museum in Kobe, the Ritsurin Garden in Takamatsu. Check out the Nakashima exhibit upstairs. Finally seek out the local craft shops and talk to the woodworkers. He found a shop called Inoue Hamono in Tokyo. The family/owners were friendly and helpful and I brought a dovetail chisel back to America.
Listener Questions
- Drew was making a breadboard tenon and got some tearing along the baseline with his brand new straight router bit and asks why.
- Misha has short time in his shop like most of us and is looking to save time on stock prep but not wanting to buy both a jointer and a planer. Does he buy a planer or jointer? Can he get by with a planer alone? He does point out a pretty slick planer sled jig on Instagram.
- Steve has inherited some Butternut that was air dried and has some signs of bugs. What should he do with the material?

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
