I’ve been doing some brain rearranging the past few months as my lathe died and I’m waiting for a new one to arrive. I’ve been reevaluating the wood boards and slabs that I have for “flat work”. I do have some interesting wood and over the years, I’ve said to myself, “Don’t use that. Wait for a special project.”
I’ve come to realize that I could wait forever for the perfect project and now is the time to use the "special" wood. What am I waiting for? I just finished a console using some walnut, quilted maple and tiger maple (see pictures) and now I’m working on a “Krenov inspired” cabinet with some birds eye maple, walnut, and maybe something else. What have I got to lose. I’ll go out and get more wood if I have to.
