I just acquired some Brazilian Cherry

That looks like great material for a Thorsen table Dick. Plus, it is already notched on the edges so you can put them together for a nice table top.

The legs may be a bit more work. Maybe instead of solid legs, you could make a torsion box design, hollow but looks solid outside. It would make the table lighter, but still very strong.

Let us know what you make. Maybe even reward your son with an end table made from the scraps. If you get enough, maybe even make one for his boss. Then again, he might ask where you got the material from…

Thanks Bill, You don’t have to worry about my Son getting in trouble, his boss gave them to him. Nice Guy, Hey !

Hi Dick;
—-well that looks like some great wood there….never throw any-thing away is what I always say.

....and then again you could always sand the factory finish off and get down to the real color….
Thanks and
GODSPEED,
Frank

—-oh yes, I almost forgot to ask, are you at your camp yet?

My Son just brought over another stack of wood, twice as much as the first load.
He said they’ll be finishing the job on Monday, & there’ll some more.

Very nice. Hopefully we will be seeing several projects before long.

My son in law just gave me a bunch of 6” x 5/4 mahogany. Most from 2 to 4 ft long. I’m using it on the chair I’m just starting. This is the house that the scraps are coming from…..it can be yours for just $15,000,000.

Thanks for the house tour, some house.
Aren’t we a bunch of scavengers? Or in the modern version recyclers.

I was given 27 bf of the same stuff three days ago… I’m thinking of making a bathroom cabinet for the marble sink I fished outta the dumpster… This new shop has a plethora of goodies… I’ll show the bathroom cabinet when I’m finished…

I’ve really been busy making cabinets for the Church and no time for the Thorsen Challenge, so I might not get it done in time…

I wouldn’t have won it anyway.

I prefer to think of us as treasure seekers Dick…..I bet your eyes lit up when he brought it in.
The house is amazing…my son-in-law got very lucky when he landed this job. He is working alongside some amazing craftsman. The joinery in this home is like fine furniture. The woods all hand picked and grain matched….I had a tour and was amazed. The stairs are works of art.

Nice cache of Cherry! Can’t wait to see what you make of it or what gets carved out of it!
