I’m building a gentleman’s chest out of some 40 year old cherry boards stored in the back of my shop. The case and top are complete and I’m ready to make the doors and the drawer. The problem is the remaining boards at the bottom of the pile that I thought were cherry are actually walnut. Now I don’t have enough cherry to finish the project.
I could try to find more cherry but doubt I could find cherry to color match what I have.
I could use another wood for the doors and drawer. I have some QSWO, white oak, red oak, walnut and possibly enough mahogany.
I could give up woodworking and take up needlepoint.
Any suggestions?
