March 25, 20242 yr Popular Post comment_332487 I picked up some hard maple and cherry from a guy about an hour away. The maple is 3.5” thick and the cherry 4” thick. Both are kiln dried. Man this maple was some hard stuff. Here is a box from the maple. Report

Of course I'm not a dendrologist and don't even play one on TV Report
March 26, 20242 yr comment_332491 @RustyFN. That is some beautifully figured wood Rusty. I have to agree with Lew, sure looks like black walnut. Love the box shape and how you did the lid. Report

I used new tips on the carbs. There were a few spots that chipped out and a view voids but luckily not many. I believe this sheet was made on a Wednesday. Lol After it was finished it actually had that big French word for shine and shimmer that starts with a C. Report

This was discussed quite a bit over on the AAW forums. The box Rusty made is indeed maple. It's likely that the photo make it look darker than it actually is. Carry on, Rusty! Report
