I found some leftover 1x4 red oak. It's probably more like
3/4"x3 1/2".
I need to make a couple of loading blocks and have a couple of questions.
Does it make it any easier to load if I leave a small handle sticking out?
Is red oak make good block wood? Pine would split too easy.
Would it look better stained or just oiled? I know I can try both, but what do mosty of ya'll see around?
Thanks,
Jim
