Need a source for some wide curly maple
I want to duplicate the jewelry box pictured he
http://westcreekstudio.com/pages/fre...ing_chest.html This is a birthday gift for my wife. The dimensions are 20" x 15" x 33 1/2" ht. I would like to make it out of curly maple, the more figured, the better. The main problem I seem to be running into is finding one long continuous board to make the case out of. I figure I need either a 8' x 15" x 3/4" board or an 8' x 8" x 4/4 board I could recut down the middle and joint. The thickness of the final project will be 3/8". I have a planner and jointer, so I am somewhat flexible, but I want a flow of grain around the entire case. Any suggestions are more then welcome. Jim |

Last time I was there, saw a table top in the rough, a 3" x 3' x 8' slab of curly bubinga, and they have a LOT of other beautiful wood. -- Nahmie Stupidity is not considered a handicap, park elsewhere. |

Not out in the open, Charlie. I followed the old saw about "if you have to ask, you can't afford it", and kep' mah mouf shut! -- Nahmie Stupidity is not considered a handicap, park elsewhere. |
