Very nice wood selection and the colors just stand proud. Next one, make finger slots for the childs fingers if the cover slip out of their hand. I love the front panels and the wood grain. Your hard work has really paid off. This is a keeper.

Schroeder Your work is always first class!
I can’t believe that wood is just used for pulp.

Man. is that beautiful. My initial reaction to the write up was identical to Dennis’. I am a sucker for Bigleaf, and rather shocked that figured lumber like that would be considered for pulpwood. I guess if it’s the predominate local lumber, then that is bound to happen.
Back to the project however. This thing is right close to looking like a Prairie settle. Nice corbels and proportions. Just the sort of Uber furniture one expects to see coming out of the Gnarly Woodshop.

That is a beautiful chest. I really like the wood. Around here, I can only find 4/4 Western Maple. The suppliers say that the “big leaf” they get comes from the carolinas. Can you get thicker stuff? Did you get it green? How did you dry it?

Pulpwood?
Are you serious!
Maybe I should start looking through my sawdust piles!
Gorgeous project. Workmanship is of the highest caliber.

Thanks all! – yup, in the Northwest – this is all shipped for pulp. Rob, I stole about 10 trees and had them milled, 4/4 and 8/4 – air dried for a couple years. Its really soft, and kinda difficult to work, but a pretty wood for sure. Lee- I’m still working on my big conference table and will be picking your brain some more soon! – Thanks!

Great look project. Looks like you have some A&C influence there. With the corbels and the handles.
The center panels look awsome.
