Color me a proud weenie! My recommendation was that its easy to work with, highly resistant to water absorption (not totally) and Ron mentioned it so I assume he has some on hand??

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

drill speed and drill size....when I drill yellow pine, I use a 5/32 parobolic drill and crank the speed up to 2200 RPM's, as Raven stated short strokes, slow and steady, clean out the hole often..

A good run is better than a bad stand!

^^^^ What he said,,, go very slow,,, I drilled some of that stuff and the special bit from fuller did a nice job,,, but I drilled slow like I always do,,,,

I also use a short bit to start drilling long holes then switch it up to finish the hole,,,

Clean the drill more often. If drill is in tail stock of lathe and not rotating, wipe it with a kerosene dampend rag.
