Sweet! Great job, Dennis.

This is really nice. I am just wondering,where do you get wood like that? I have seen it in a particular place that I go to, but not in a million years would I be able to afford something like this. That sounds nosy, but I don’t mean it to. I am just wondering if there are places you can go to get such beautiful wood as this without having to hock your house! Yes I am serious!
Thanks. I love this!
PEACE!!!

Allision, i go to a local specialty hardwoods dealer to get my wood. this paduak isn’t really that expensive. its only around 6 dollars a bf. this came out of a board that was 10” wide by 9 feet long and it only cost about 40 dollars. nice wood too. i love my local specialty hardwoods dealer. they have every wood under the sun. even Brazilian monkey wood :)

Very nice job Denis. You must have done a good job with your sled because your joints look perfect. How big is this piece? Can’t wait to see what you do next.

nice work TeenWW.
looks like a good project where work can work on your electrical skills and install some sort of lamp inside.

thanks mikega. my sled isn’t really that good. i think it has something to do with the glue. i used an elmers white carpenters glue. worked very well and you can’t see any glue lines! thanks for all the help! the next one i have planned is going to be even better.

Great Job!!!!
