re: Small chest of drawers from (mostly) dead trees from our property

Thanks guys! 

Pottz…Even though sworn to secrecy I had to tell someone…Figured you were a safe bet not to spill the beans and put me in the hoosegow. BTW…this is the project that was supposed to give everyone a good laugh…🤣

Ducks…I like the wood too. What’s not to love? It look like bacon and smells like cedar. Don’t really feel bad about the bride not wanting it in the house. She’s often said the same about me….and she doesn’t like bacon. Somehow I soldier on. 

Eric…Thanks for the thumbs up. I‘ve found “making wood” to be kind of fun…and have made some small book matched panels that might find a home someday. I’ve split a fair amount of firewood and as a woodworker it always kind of bothered me. To create something from the materials available make it that much more unique and adds a story to be told.

Hey Corelz! …It wasn’t so bad once you lowered your acceptable material standards. The floating cedar panels and drawer fronts are definitely “good side up.” A lot of planing and jointing to flatten/ straighten material…and a shell game matching  boards as best I could. 
Slow going…but I enjoyed every minute of it.

And thank you all for the congrats! Time to start working on that cradle. ; )
