Trunk #3 - Maple

And a fine chest it is!!!

Wish that I could come help you at Sturgis.
We could take turns going to “Bikini Beach”....
That and going to the “Adult Beverage” purveyors!!!

Very nice and great display of grain. Good luck in Sturgis and try not to get into too much trouble (of course, the real secret is not to get caught).

The maple and the patern in the trunk works! Best of Luck at the show Monte! :<)

There is no doubt in my mind that you will do great with the chests Monte..They are definite sellers.

Looks perfect to me, Monte!

Very nice trunk, Monte. The character shows well. It really is the perfect maple.

see i would have cut this up and loved it right off, so much character in this wood, this is one i would buy , i hope you also do well, the cedar linings should be a good selling point…this is a really nice trunk..

You can always find a nice chest at Sturgis…..

-- My mind is like lighting, one brilliant flash, then its gone.....

It may not be perfect maple but it is perfect for that chest. Your work just gets better and better. How is your shop rebuild doing?

-- Bruce, Boise, ID

Very Nice Work Indeed . . .

Now, lots of us have a chain saw and a couple of old trees. Mine’s a box store mid sized Husqvarna. I even have a can of poly and some cedar lining hiding in my workshop. But there’s no way I could make something as nice looking as this chest with my saw. So, would you please enlighten us on how you went from old partially rotted tree to these good looking boards!

Thanks for sharing
