August 23, 20196 yr Sorta the same idea as this- https://www.core77.com/posts/69981/How-to-Make-a-Watertight-Wood-Joint-Without-Using-Glue-or-Sealants
August 23, 20196 yr That is really cool. Similar to a Danish water stone pond, compressing the fibers at the joints, once the water hits the joints, they swell and seal. I also like his chisels, they were sharp! See the clean glassy surface after he cleaned up the mortise bottom? Even paring perpendicular to the grain. Nice craftsmanship. Edit: I just saw your link Lew, that is exactly what I was talking about.
