I have been working on a cabinet to house plows, fillisters and moulding planes.  I had a friend who picked up some wide Douglas Fir and he gave me several boards.  The wood was from light poles at a football stadium that had been replaced by metal poles.

I had never cut dovetails on such large lumber and I was very pleased with how easy they were to do as opposed to the smaller projects (drawers, boxes etc.) that I do.


Kind of dusty, so you can see the need to enclose the planes.

Inside is the Christmas swap present from Don W.  

See a separate post to follow on that very interesting fellow.
