   Duane,

   Very nice indeed. I hoard wormy chestnut.

   I made some bedside tables using rift sawn red oak. Shellac finish.

   The front rail is a drawer front.

   Here is a TV table. The top is one piece 19" wide.

   Nice, but I'm jealous. I haven't had time to make much furniture recently (or turn, either).

   I especially like the way the grain flows with the drawer.

   You ever work with butternut? IMO, that's another underappreciated wood.

   I haven't been back to the thread to see, but I would imagine that it was deleted.Can't figure out how to explain it without getting booted myself. Will email you.

   I have a very good friend who trimmed the interior of his house with chestnut. Looks outstanding.

    IamtheWalrus | Apr 07, 2009 12:00am | #19

    what for a cutting method leaves the drawer front so tight. I'm assuming it was cut from where it is now, seeing how well the grain matched.

   Sphere can't answer ya but I know he saws the apron apart and glues it back together after cross cutting out the drawer front.

   He's crafty that way.

   I have a friend who uses a Japanese saw to do cuts like that. He cut a door into wainscoting that is just about invisible.  Might be tough with a drawer front but I'd be fun to try.

    

   Nice piece Shpere, even if you can't read the post!

    Now, that's what I'm talking about! A fine piece of craftsmanship here. I still remember the last project you shared with me (but, let's not go there). What else ya got?

   For some unexplained reason, Sphere cannot post. Maybe you can look into that and rectify it?

   Malo | Apr 23, 2009 08:45pm | #26

   He has no idea, being as he asked J.P. and emailed cust. serv. and never got a reply.

   It was at the time of the new "Big Lowes" ad inception.
