VPI Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Decided all birds eye maple for the drawer fronts was going to bore me so I am going to do some accents with a glue-up of leopard wood incorporated into some or all of the drawers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would swear that I posted this the other day, but who knows anymore. It is called Transparent Ipe for hardwoods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Would prefer it in Walnut, but the shitty maple will have to do. Also tried, and fucked up some dog bone (bow ties) for the rainbow poplar shoe display go the closet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted Saturday at 09:39 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 09:39 PM Any guesses on this wood type? Fairly dense, not cedar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted Saturday at 10:26 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 10:26 PM Looks similar in the pics I can find. I have an entire shop full of hard wood, and all of it is too fucking fancy for the dog food bowl stand I wanted to make this weekend. At least I got the legs and stretchers milled from some boring Walnut and Madrone sticks. Going to do custom dog bone through tenons on the legs, if I ever find any sticks to make the top with.

swt61 Posted Saturday at 11:11 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:11 PM It could a South American hardwood of some type. It's really hard to tell. Nice curly figure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if it is Koa, but does not match my Jatoba so not sure what else it could be. I keep it in the stack of the Wenge and Teak for my retirement plan.

swt61 Posted Saturday at 11:55 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:55 PM That's better. I'm now guessing South American Walnut or Suar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
