"too much wood"
#11
Somebody used this phrase with me recently. What do you think he meant?

"More than I can use" I understand, but "too much wood" sounds so different it must mean something else…

To me that would be more than I could store.

But then Id just hurry up and make more....then that problem would be cleared up.

Why not ask the person who said it ... then let us know.
See ya later,

Probably synonymous.

It means "not enough tools to process this wood" possibly in conjunction with "too many interruptions when working this wood"

Everyone has a wood stash.

"Too much wood" is the wood you have left over when you die.

That wood is usually transferred to someone else's wood stash, so they can have "too much wood" when they die.

While our wives would prefer we have "just enough wood", most woodworkers know you can never have "too much wood".

In the south it is hard to get nice cherry, so I probably have "too much wood".

If I lived within 50 miles of say, Hearne Hardwoods or Groff and Groff, I would probably just buy enough wood for each project as I built it.

I subscribe to the theory that you can never have too much wood.

My wife keeps telling me that too. I'm not sure what she means either. I have leaned not to ask.

My wife's definition of to much wood is she can't park in a 3 car garage, 2 bays are wood piles, to me it means I need a 4 car garage.

It means the person that said it is not a woodworker.
