First off, I am not sure what species it is. It came from a small piece of old floor board from my 120 year old house.
It's a toss up between Ash and Chestnut.

Looks good - I did the same thing only with a strip of sapele left from a project.
One thing I like is measuring from the edge of the blade is easy when I just drop the tip of the tape measure into the kerf. I don't cut many angles so it works for me.

That's a nice chunk of wood, Darcy. Don't cut any bevels with it!

I change out my zero clearance plates almost everyday. ( lots of bevel and straight cuts on the same jobs) Soon a pain in the a** with those 6 screws. For the last year, or so, I've just used double sided foam tape. Works like a charm, if you have to change plates often, never ever had one come loose.

After completely obsessing over the last 2 days about what my old floor is, I believe it to be Ash. Old wormy ash. I even had a magnifying glass out, the rings are so tight, it is hard to see the pores and sometimes the difference between rings. 99% sure, I think there is a forester in this town. |

Nice accent for the Kapex there. Now, what about the fence faces there? You're down to bare metal  . That wood on the faces would be sweet!! Split the zeros...  |
