Wow, instant family heirloom. Impressive.

Thanks for looking and commenting, guys. I really appreciate it.

Beautiful, Earl. Great figure in the cherry and maple.

Earl, that is just beautiful! I must know where you are finding lumber. I know there was at one time a small hardwood dealer in Wenatchee but never tried to find it. Is there one still there?

Mark-

There is a small hardwood dealer here, Lombard's. They don't carry a lot of stock, but you can often find some interesting lumber. Nice people, and they have a full shop if you need sizing, etc.

I picked the stock for the front and back of this chest from a pallet of cherry they currently have. The end pieces came from a board I got at Woodcraft in Spokane, and the maple is some I brought back from Atlanta.

I'd be glad to send you Lombard's address and phone number by email if you'd like.

Thanks Earl, that might be helpful, although I'm not planning a trip up that way anytime in the near future. How is their pricing? Arm and leg for every thing? Are they open weekends?

I almost always drive to Windsor Plywood in Spokane when I'm in need of lumber as they are open 7 days a week and have a great selection as well as fair prices on red oak at least compared to what I'd pay if I stayed local.
TIA

Hey Earl,

After seeing that chest, I think I'm gonna go out and burn down my garage/workshop.

Anyone know if there's a market for toasted tools.

That's one NIFTY piece.

Very nice.

[chopnhack]

Wow, Earl, that piece is fantastic. And yes, the trimming of the piece exposing the biscuit didnt take from the design at all. beaut!!

[jcjrsmith]

That is absolutely gorgeous.

[enorwood]

Thanks again for looking and for the kind comments. I've decided to line the box with cedar using tongue & groove closet-liner planking to help keep the critters out.

That piece surely makes the effort worthwhile. Beautiful.
