I found wood.. close buy… ok now what?
I bought 8 board feet of ribbon sapele to build a bench for my wife. While we were shopping that day we like to go to second hand shops. We stopped at an antique shop and i started digging around and found a 6 by 1 foot board in the back of the store. It was black walnut and very figured. I asked the old guy what he wanted for it. He scratched his head and said “20 bucks”. I said “sold”. So I got home and started to try to create something ‘me’ and my design.
Here is the start.
more to come…...

That’s a great board for $20 Dave! Not sure where you’re going with this… but I like what I see. Looking forward to the next entry!
