When looking at Red Oak for the Trivets i am cutting, i came across a red oak riser. It appears that it is four two inch strips glued up to make a 4ft long 8inch wide piece.I like the way it looks with a varied grain pattern, and it is cheaper per board ft. My question is how will it cut ...compared to the oak i have been using,...will it stay together after being cut??...May be a silly question, but never having worked with it i do not know.....Sometime trying to save a couple of bucks does not pay off.....Thanks for any tips or knowledge you can share!!!!.....Steve.
