Great work again Peter. Do you use beech or bamboo toothpicks.
I prefer the beech as the bamboo is very porous.
At the moment I use some hardwood I got from my parquetterie specialist many years ago. It has a very straight grain and is ideal for treenails. You can easily make 30 cm long 0,6 mm treenail lengths.
Unfortunately he could tell me anymore what it was as it was very old stock.

You can take some if you want in July.

Thanks for the comparison, Maarten. We can see and compare in July. The ones a use have a fine grain and the color matches with the beech.
Regards, Peter

Not enough planks to finish the deck:

Next weekend after the bike trip the Proxxon FET has to do it’s work.
