Wanted to post a pic of some drawers a customer made for a credenza that used some quartersawn sycamore that we cut this Project. Even though the sycamore was used to make the inside of the drawers, it is still makes a statement.

Wow!!!

People(like me) that open drawers to see how well-made a piece of furniture is will be astounded, for generations to come I would think.

Wow indeed.

Sweet

WDH · January 31, 2016, 07:49:16 AM

If it were mine, I would leave the drawers open so that people could see the inside :D.

Jake and I cut some more about 2 months ago that was very nice. Need to get some of it in the kiln soon (hint, hint ;D).

I thought you were going to announce the next project. I was going to give you the dates I'm working so you will know when to schedule it while I'm gone. I haven't been able to make one yet. >:(

I think that is a great application for qs sycamore, as well as a historical one. I was told it was used that way because of it's stability, once it was dried, that is. We had a discussion at work last week about using highly figured woods in furniture and cabinetry. Less is more was our conclusion. My coworker has a lot of cabinet making experience, and all of his cabinets are painted. :D Using too highly a figured wood can distract from not only the furniture, but the room as a whole. As one friend of mine commented regarding a room covered completely in qs sycamore: "It's like living inside a woodpecker's nest!". :D

Dave,

Yes, it can be busy in excess.

Lee,

We would be honored if you could come down for the next project. It is a mite far away for you, though.

Peter Drouin · January 31, 2016, 12:16:57 PM

Very nice.

LeeB · January 31, 2016, 01:06:00 PM

Heck, it's only 750 miles. That's just a hop and a skip. :D

Sixacresand · January 31, 2016, 01:27:31 PM

Wow, I may have briefly handled a piece of that drawer sycamore. Small world.

customsawyer · January 31, 2016, 04:21:58 PM

I thinking some time in late March on the next project.

In the pic of the drawers, I like the contrast in the dove tails.

Ocklawahaboy · January 31, 2016, 06:14:33 PM

Ooohhhh, there might be some possible weekends I could make it in that timeframe.

jmouton · January 31, 2016, 07:12:17 PM

customsawyer · January 31, 2016, 07:14:27 PM

Well for a free log we might let you get two pieces of chicken. :D

samandothers · January 31, 2016, 07:29:11 PM

Wowzer! Those drawers are amazing. What was the primary wood in the credenza?

LeeB · January 31, 2016, 09:04:30 PM

jmouton · January 31, 2016, 09:35:04 PM

DanG · February 01, 2016, 12:12:31 AM

Schedule it for whenever LeeB will be home so he will have to put up or shut up. ;D :D :D

LeeB · February 01, 2016, 01:14:33 AM

Is that a challenge?

grweldon · February 01, 2016, 08:52:09 AM

I was thinking it was an announcement for the next project as well! Still, when I look at those drawers and know that I actually HAVE some of that wood in my possession, it makes me HAPPY! 8)
