I harvested some barn wood last summer from neighbor, one long 9x9, some
4x6's and various other sizes.

I assume it's sruce, but that's just a guess. since Timberframes are
typically erected green, there was plenty of checking. There were nails to
remove. In short, lots of waste. I attemped the quarter-saw the beams as
much as possible to present the tightest grain.

It's splintery brittle stuff to work with. The handcut DT's from this stuff
are pretty sloppy. Dispite that, old-growth reclaimed wood has its charm.

The drawer bottoms are luan and drawer runners are oak. the rest is
barnwood.

I designed the DT's to be asymetric, the lower tail bisected by the drawer
runner groove, to create the balanced took.

The finish is shellac followed by waterlox.

Looks good. The old wood has some charm and you made it into something of
beauty.

The drawer bottoms are luan and drawer runners are oak. the rest is

I designed the DT's to be asymetric, the lower tail bisected by the drawer
runner groove, to create the balanced took.

All the other kudos and I like the grooves in the drawers for the wooden
glides instead of those metal & plastic thingies :)

I think it's beautiful.
It already has the look of an old friend and I'm sure the lady who uses it
will be very happy with it for years to come.
