I have yet to find a single nut large enough for a piece I have in mind. How well do the nuts take wood glue? I am considering doing a mortise and tenon joint to fit two (or three) together to make one slab about 3/8" thick x 2" wide x 3" long. I need another piece 1/4" thick x 1 1/4" wide x 3" long that I will likely pin and glue - that is, assuming regular wood glue will hold. Also, the voids inside are going to be a slight proiblem for me, I'm hoping to fill them with wood glue mixed with carving scraps and sanding dust. I have a question about GLUEING tagua nuts…

Now I know why the world at large refers to you as the evil twin. It's not much of a mystery why I'm the handsome twin. About ayahuasca, the actual point of my lengthy writings here and elsewhere, I'm still working at it. I look forward to serious input from those who know stuff.

Back to the topic, my question remains as to if ayahuasca is a medicine as claimed by its proponents, why doesn't it heal the likes of Fart? Quite correct Dag and my apologies for the brief diversion. Back to the topic, my question remains as to if ayahuasca is a medicine as claimed by its proponents, why doesn’t it heal the likes of Fart?

This particular post is about ayahuasca and the subculture that follows it. It's not about Gart slagging Adrian and Adrian's response to that. Take it somewhere else, gentlemen.

They are all lies, inventions of a sick mind, perhaps a testimony to your own chosen lifestyle of unnatural behaviour. Gay men love to bitch don't they? An apology is due or alternatively a denouement with proof which doesn't exist so good luck finding it. I have no intention of competing with your miserable scumbag business and would probably decline your clients (if you have any?) Again Gart, in the past I would have suggested pillows at dawn but your offensive attitude makes the matter more serious than that. Sarah, where are you darlin? Gart,
