"Lukeâ s Custom Woodworks just completed a beautiful remodel of my kitchen. The workmanship and customer service I have received were outstanding, and the cost was substantially lower than the other businesses I contacted. The staff of craftsmen were superb! Everyone worked diligently to make sure everything was done right. In addition, they always made sure the area was cleaned before they left. I highly recommend Lukeâ s Custom Woodworks to anyone interested in having a woodworking project. I couldnâ t ask for a better experience!"

"Bryan and his crew Darryl, Bruce, and Connor made repairs to my home after a plumbing leak. This sort of restoration involving baseboard trim, laminate flooring, drywall, and paint is more difficult than new construction because of the matching and blending required to make the repaired areas appear invisible. They accomplished this with a high degree of workmanship, arrived and completed the work on time, and were friendly and courteous throughout. They showed themselves to be real pros when they returned to repair damage to their work caused by the carpet installers under a separate contract, without charge. I highly recommend BKS Installers."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.
