Thanks Alan. Very interesting and useful find. May have to buy a bandsaw now.

I received a quote for a bit that has a cutting height of 2.5". It would be $353.00. Ouch, but might be worth the expenditure. To keep the profile looking correct what radius would look best? I am...

Thanks Stan, that helps. Right now I sent enquiries out for custom sizing. Will see where that leads me.

Alex. Cancel that. I believe I found the bit you used. MLCS #8592.

Those are beautiful boxes Alex. Can you point me out in the right direction for the bit you used. I have searched MLCS but do not see an appropriate one.

Thanks for all the advice. I will talk to the client regarding suggestions.

I am planning on building a side table like the one attached from maple (curly?) and purpleheart. I would like suggestions as to which species would look best for each part. I feel that purpleheart...

Absolutely stunning. First build-hard to believe. Love the finish.

Jay;

Thanks for the pics. Is the panel veneered or is it solid? I am not sure that I could come close to your quality but those are similar to what I would like to build.

I do love the look of hickory, however I am primarily concerned with the expansion/contraction characteristics of the wood I finally choose. I live in Alberta, Canada where or moisture conditions...
