Welcome to Wood Talk, for Woodworkers by Woodworkers. Now here are three guys who like to use a lot of words yet say nothing at all. Mark, Matt, and Shannon.

Welcome, everybody to Wood Talk Number 137 for June 19th, 2013.

On today's show, we're talking about choosing between the router plane and

rabbiting block plane, our personal book recommendations, areas of woodworking

where it's actually okay to skim and burnishing scraper planes.

I don't, that seems wrong.

Okay, we'll find out if that's all correct.

Any more, I screw that up every time, but hey, before we get to that,

let's hear a quick word from our sponsors.

Today's show is supported by Arbor Tech,

makers of creative wood-shaping tools.

They're turning 25 this year and to celebrate,

they're holding a woodworking competition.

The competition is simple and fun.

Show yourself using an Arbor Tech tool to make a project. The prize package is a thousand

dollars worth of Arbor Tech tools. For more information check out their blog at blog dot arbortech USA.com.

And by Festool, helping woodworkers get better results in less time and with less mess to clean

up afterwards.

All right, well first I'd like to say,

welcome back, Matt.

Yay, Matt. Frrckers.
