Why wouldnt end grain hold up?

 

You're a damn rock star.

 

Because lengthwise grain and end grain will swell and contract at different rates/percentages.
You're combining pieces of wood with different behaviors.
If sealed well so as to stop movement of the wood grain, it can be done.
Kind of.

But also, there's far less mechanical strength when there's end grain involved.
Lengthwise glue joins of seasoned wood can be very strong indeed.
Stronger than the wood itself, if the woods are not too dissimilar.

 

Why are there no seatbelts on school buses? I mean, I think the driver has one but......

 

They were just an experiment that I didn't pursue.

 

And toilets

 

I don’t even want to know…..

 

Have a good night all!!

 

Yeah right. Tell me you never fell asleep on the crapper.

 

Depends on how you store it, type of wood and thickness. Thin end grain boards will have tendency to warp some. Sap wood also will warp more than the core.

End grain can break but usually not at glue joint if it set properly. Some wood is more brittle than others it just depends on type of wood.

 

night!

 

You know yer wood.

 

In you endo??

 

@Gritto You're no stranger yourself when it comes to doing stuff with wood.

 

We'll have to agree to disagree.

Long grain edges, if clean and properly prepared on a jointer, will absolutely make a stronger glue bond.

 

Why are you complaining?
