Can you give me any advice as to the shape and size for a dutchman?PS. Ive learned all my woodworking skills from watching your show. Ive made several of your projects from your books. Wish youd publish more books!Kevin Smedley



Answer:
Well, that depends on the size of the defect you are trying to cover. Old timers loved to use butterfly shapes. Others, just squares or rectangles big enough to cover and patch the problem area. Check out some old wooden peices of furnitue for ideas. Keep in mind that Yankees never threw anything out just because it needed a simple repair.
