“reclaimed Oak” ? What kind of Oak is it ? Nice job on the box and details / designs : )

Hey Dusty.
It’s from a shipping platform I took apart.
I work just outside Chicago in an industrial area, and its obscene how much truly beautiful oak and other hard woods get tossed.
There is also a high end cabinet shop near-by which gives me some of their scraps.
You probably noticed the holes…(yep from the nails).LOL
I’ve become an expert dismantler…

I used to fill in the holes, but I recently read an interview with Norm….(respectful pause here) and he was asked why he left the holes in in a beautiful project he made from old barn wood, and he said that it gives the piece a little bit of built in history. Made sense to me. (And who am I to doubt The Original New Yankee).
I re-saw a lot of 4X stock I get and that usually works good for face parts, but the color of the face boards I used for this chest were so awesome I had to use them.
Some of the color and grain patterns of this stuff is incredible as well.
And last but not least, the price is definitely right.
Plus, my REAL boss is pretty tight with the allowance at times!!!

I’m watching for a piece to try and make a cool looking clock like the ones you do.
(Gonna have to get my talent level up a few notches first though)

Thanks for your kind comment.

-- Eric

WOW , Thank you for the compliment on my clocks ! : ) Let me know when you feel that you’re up to it , and I’ll send you the wood , no charge of course : )
I also started out “gathering” pallet wood for my projects and still do today ….so many pallets , so little time !
ALL of my clocks that you see posted here are from my recycling efforts….time well spent , I think : )

Beautiful! A couple of those pieces really look like elm. Great project and a wonderful gift!
