    Pine Hutch

    Started it this project in 2013 by felling the pine tree on my property. Then I took it to a bandsaw mill and helped him mill it into boards. Just had him slab one face, then rotate the log 90° so I could joint and plane it to final size easier. After getting the boards back home I put them in the rafters of my shop to let them dry until I had time to work them.

    September of 2014 I started working on the hutch, milled all the pieces to get them ready for glue ups to make the panels.
    Got the backs onto the cabinets, shelves made, and the doors done. Weather turned wetter and the wood started to move, which happens in a non-climate controlled environment. The panels in the doors warped and broke out of the rails and stiles. So, I ended up bringing the hutch and door parts into the house to winter, then spring came and went, then summer came and it was too hot to be in the shop for any length of time, so I finally had time and the weather to go back out at the end of August.

    Completed the doors and had the water based poly on in less than 3 days and the hutch is now in the house.

          Nice job. Cool that you used wood from your own lot, too.

            Beautiful work. I enjoyed building LOML's hutch. Her's took about 3 years to complete!

            Know the feeling - Too cold, then too wet and humid, then too hot, then too busy and finally a little time at the right temp!

              Nice, nothing like temp. and RH change to make you appreciate the way pine can warp and look like it wants to walk around the room like a spider! Joinery meathods that requires pine to be cut in thin pieces can be trying at best.
              The antique pine dining table I made for my wife's Christmas present was built from wood that was stored in my air conditioned shop for over a year prior to its construction. After the table was moved into the house I've noticed about 1/8" movement in some of the top boards and can feel each joint slightly. I guess that I should have done the finish sanding, staining and waxing in the house.

                  Looks great, and the source of the wood is a wonderful touch. I love it.

                    Looking at the pictures I would have guessed it was cedar! Beautiful job....

                      Very nice. Like Pappy I would have thought it is Cedar.

                          It was a bull pine, or ponderosa that I took the wood from. When I fell it it seemed sound, but when we started milling it I saw that there was some rot in it.

                          There was some soft spots that I had to work around, but I did like the color variations and uniqueness of it so I went with it.

                            Beautiful work Eric - I really like how you used the wood color / contrast.
