Douglas fir balusters
I know what you guys are probably going to say, but I'm asking anyways....I purchased a few 1.5" douglas fir balusters from my local lumber place just to mess around with and found out this stuff is very difficult to work with. It turned down ok, but seemed brittle in places and very hard in others. Some of the annual rings are like iron and others real soft, which caused the drilling process to be very challenging.
Have any of you had similar experiences with this stuff? Any other feedback on this stuff? Save it? Burn it? Turn it? Stick with eels?
