Project Information

It's a tiger maple fest tonight, folks. Here's another spice chest on frame I've made. This one is in tiger maple. It has carved Spanish feet and tombstone raised panel doors. There are some secret compartments but I don't have pictures. This is the piece around which I wrote the article "It's a Secret" in the November 2009 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine. The piece stand about 33" high. It has my standard analine dye color and shellac finish. I hope you enjoy it.

Chuck,

These pieces are visual delights. Your staining really pops the grain. Your finish on the piece looks really good.

Thanks for the post.

I bet all those little drawers were a pain. The tombstone doors are great.

Chuck, Your work is Totally Totally Beautiful, It truly does my heart good to be on LJ and have the oppurtunity to witness ALL this Beautiful, Meticulous, and Museum Quality work as yours and our Lumber Jock members. Am wondering what High School you went to, I went to school with a Chuck Bender in the Southmoreland School District of Pa. Look forward to seeing more of your Awesome Work….your brother in woodworking John

Hubba hubba, what a set of legs on that beauty.
Seriously - top flight, glorious craftsmanship. That is one log that died and went to heaven.

Thanks to everyone for their compliments. I've been at this so long that I'm bound to get on base once in a while.

Mike, keep an eye out for my blog to get started. I also want to do a few videos that I'll be able to post. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how this place works, so keep an eye out for my forum posts. I plan on adding some small tutorials on different subjects. Right now, I'm spending most of my time here looking at others' work and reading through posts trying to pick up things I know very little about (which, for those that know me, is quite a bit).
