The Deluxester Prototype - Sonic's foray into repeatable scratch builds

[Woltz]

Picking up some dislike for the Tas Oak. What exactly about it are you guys thinking is a problem? It seems to do the job and is easy enough to work with. The only issues I've had have been of my own making. I'm probably just going to go with it again here unless there is some glaring reason why I shouldn't?

The main reasons I haven't liked the pieces I got is that it's heavy, it's prone to tear out and it likes to splinter and crack.

But bearing in mind that Tas Oak and Vic Ash are generic names for lots of different types of Eucalyptus which means I may have a different type to you and your experience with it could be quite different.

My experiences with it have involved lots of splintering, lots of tear out, even with freshly sharpened bits and tools. This has been a common encounter with Both "Tas Oak" and "Vic Ash" purchased from a certain green shed. Vic Ash purchased from an independant timer merchant fared better, but not by much.
