Started sizing up some cherry for my table. Not the same as Paul’s.
Made a lot of shavings enjoyable hard work Planning from sawn timber. Cherry has come up like glass.
I have use winding sticks, Marking gauge, straight edge, square, Digital callipers,Hand saw 8 tpi, 5 1/2 Record jack and a Stanley premium low angle jack.
Got to plane up another 5 pieces for frame work and another 4 or 5 pieces for top.Dagenham, Essex, England
hi Mark is the cherry expensive ,and will you leave the sap wood in or cut it out
Eddy .. Liverpool, Merseyside, UK
,Yes Eddy quite expensive I Bought 2 @ 8′ x 6″ x 1″ and 2 @ 8′ x 5″ x 1″ and came to £52 without vat.
At the moment I have cut it out for frame work, but for the top I will try and match it up so whiter wood next to one another. You know me I do like a bit of contrast.
I can not resist planing the thinnest of shavings just got in from shed playing on a bit of scrap. Use callipers measure shaving and got 1/2 a thou. 🙂Dagenham, Essex, England

,VAT = Value Added Tax and it is 20%
Wow! where is the value in that?
I pay 9.75% sales tax here, I thought that was high!Memphis, Tennessee
there is none steve but this crowd still keep putting it up but thats a different forum
Eddy .. Liverpool, Merseyside, UK
,OUCH! I guess value was added to the wood when the it was cut into lumber…. And i thought tax in Illinois was bad..
Looking good Mark!
Absolutely *love* cherry. At this point, it may be my favorite wood. To me has the perfect combination of beauty of grain and color, as well as being a dream to work. Can’t wait to see the table!
I agree really lovely stuff.
It’s a bit harder than I thought it would be.
Oh we’ll Back to planning. :).Dagenham, Essex, England
Its taken me best part of two days to plane timber for frame work. I have still got the planks for top todo. I will start on frame work first when I get more time.

Mark, that’s looking really good.
I bet good amount of work’s gone into hand planing all of that stock 🙂
Like the others have said I think cherry is a beautiful wood. I’ve got a soft spot for the fruit woods, picked up a length of 4″ square apple a little while ago which I’m busy converting into legs for a shaker style side table.
