Let’s have fun with some wood porn! Just show off them sexy grains! I splurged at Rockler the other day.

 

Off the walnut I am thinking a floating shelf with the live edge

Just put the first coat of shellac on the birthday box. Sapele has a nice grain.

Wood has been one of the most durable material for furniture, Home decor etc.. Having a wood flooring Sacramento is becoming elegant, desirable, durable, easy to clean and maintain. These hardwood floors come in a variety of brands and designs say, plank flooring, grey wood floor, that enhance the look of the home. They are protected with the coat of wood polish, that don’t even let the stain stays for a long time. Toddlers have a habit of drawing with a paint brush on the floors, these wood flooring’s are coated with the satin polish, which does not let the mark stay there for long, and you can remove it just by moving a mop over from the surface.



I wonder if a mod could clean up the spam that fell in the nice thread about wood. And this reference to it.

I love this build so much, how nerve racking was it cutting the drawer fronts?

A lot of rechecking. Luckily when I cut them I made the space for the rails so I didn’t have to be perfect. So all I had to do was cut within that 3/4″ span. This gives the impression the rails are taking up that space instead of the drawer fronts being pulled apart to fill the drawer cavities. You can see what I am talking about in the pic.

A cutting board I am working on. African mahogany, Purple Heart and hard Maple. The grain patterns add to the 3 d effect. This picture shows the peaces still in rubber bands but close to the positions They will be glued together in. [External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]
