Just a few drawers
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 My shop was getting filled up with the small projects that I make, so I decided to make something that took a bit more time. I have a friend with a young daughter and I thought that I would make something special for her.
It took more than a month to get it done, working a few hours in the evenings, with a couple of work trips thrown in. I am very happy with the results.
The drawers are 2X2X4. One in each row has two smaller drawers inside them. The wood is Walnut, Koa, Curly Hickory, Curly Maple, Quarter sawn White Oak, and Cherry. As you can see the cabinet is some of the prettiest Curly Maple that I had.Thanks for looking.

Spalted Red Oak Drink Coasters
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 Been trying to think outside the box to fill the tables of an upcoming church silent auction. I thought coasters would be easyDidn't realize until I painted the top with Danish oil that it was red oak (I have a lot of spalted maple from a couple trees on the property.) how'd I know it was red oak? It soaked right through! Turns out the project wasn't going to be as quick as I thought. (Red oak has open pores. When crosscut, red oak will easily pass the drink condensation from the bottom of the glass right down to the tabletop like a collection of straws.)Took quite a lot of polyurethane coats to seal the top. Wasn't the look I wanted, but the spalting is really growing on me. I might keep a set thanks for looking.
