Lots of great techniques being used here that will surely help anywone planning to build a sharpening bench or a workbench. I'm looking forward for that breadboard post! Take care, Luis Hi Tom,

John,

Does this allow for controlled wood movement?<br /><br />John Tom,

Quick question, why didn't you glue all the tenons that go in the bread board ends? Does this allow for controlled wood movement?

Very nice!

When I use my granite plate for flatening my water stones, I do make quite a mess on my table. Aren't you worried about slury getting into the oak pores of the top?
