Well, I had this big plank of yellowheart, and some great purpleheart, and thank goodness I stacked them together before I cut the wood – Whoh, it ain’t even close to Easter!
So back on the shelf went the purpleheart and I decided that the kingwood looked a lot better.
The middle of the box is repurposed poplar from an abandoned furniture factory. I think it was supposed to be couch framing.
Knobs are yellowheart, simply cut with a plug cutter. I keep trying to figure out ways to push the boundaries of what wood will hold, will look strange and hard to do. Missed the mark on this one. Nice, but not a real challenge.
Thanks for lookin’, and more to come!
I got a guitar design on the bench that will be very odd…

Nice work, good combination of timbers.
How do you stop the round drawer from unwanted rotation?

Tony: The back of the drawer section is slightly oval and smaller. When you pull it out, the slight smallness does not interrupt the removal of the drawer, but if you would try to rotate it, the back end of the drawer stops rotation after about 20’ or so. Thanks for lookin!

What a neat design! The wood combo turned out just beautiful. I’ll have to Google kingwood as I’m not familiar with it but it is great looking wood.

Very nice design and wood contrast. For anyone with a Modern theme to their house, this would be a treasure.
