3
Birdseye Maple — formed only when a tree grows under unusual stress.
Maple Burl — unpredictable growth that produces chaotic grain patterns found in no other wood.
Spalted Red Maple — dark lines trace the boundary between life and decay.
Together, these three maples create a harmony of color, texture, and movement that cannot be replicated.

Features a four‑drawer tower flanked by two connected lift‑out‑tray boxes, creating a functional layout designed for jewelry, heirlooms, and personal treasures.
Every drawer is hand‑fitted.
Every tray lifts smoothly.
Every surface is shaped, sanded, and finished by hand.
The full piece measures 17½" long, 10½" tall, and 6½" deep

Nicely done! Beautiful grain. What did you finish it with?

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

I like how you kept the burl edges!
Crosses the line between "formal" and "organic" appearance.

The finish I used is Odie's
  Multi-Functional Solution: Odie's Universal Oil 
Let me tell you. If you decide to try this, PLEASE use sparingly. When I say it only takes a dip of the fingertip at a time that's what it takes. And I lightly massaged it around with 0000 steel wool. Let it sit for better than an hour, than a rub down with a clean, soft, terry cloth.
