I have the wood for the 38 ready to cut using the old for a pattern. Now I can use a Jig saw on the old yellow pine but the new oak is like trying to cut concrete. Mucho smoke coming from saw cut! I'm guessing the grains are really close or dense. Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to do this? Locating someone with a bandsaw or ????? I guess if all else fails I could take it to a shop.
