Before I had any joinery tools, all I had was my tablesaw and my Kreg pocket jig. I went to Clark’s here in Houston just to admire the 100+ species of wood. I found these 2 exceptional pieces of lumber(actually I found 3, one was a $75.00, 8’ stick of beeswing aniegre that I just absolutely fell in love with but couldn’t afford it, and these 2 boards!).
These 2 boards sat in my garage for a few months, before I could buy a jointer, and a planer, and frankly more lumber to work with. Well you know a guy with a tablesaw, a Kreg pocket jig, 2 great boards, and a whole bunch of time is gonna make some sawdust!! Here is a cd display I made one weekend. Finished in Tung oil.
In retrospect I should’ve saved this board for a few draw fronts on the Highboy. I had no idea I would be building one soon!! Enjoy!!

that wood looks gorgeous.
it’s hard to tell with the perspective of the picture, but is that case low enough where the top can be seen? That should definately been in a nice “show-off” area!
