Hi Everyone,
I haven’t posted in a while now. Not since I first signed up really. Just wanted to show you guys one of the projects I’ve done in the past few months. It’s not perfect but I’m very pleased with it. My dovetails are getting tighter.Attachments:

12 June 2013 at 8:58 pm #13457nice job Joe ,just curious as what finish you applied especially the edge. really rewarding to finish something beautiful isn’t there.
12 June 2013 at 9:10 pm #13459Quarter sawn normally shows rays better. Quarter sawn best way to have your timber as less likely to cup warp it is more stable. It is the least profitable for timber mill as it has more waste out of log. They normally price this in for quarter sawn timber more expensive.
Maybe it is quarter sawn then. They mainly seem to supply wooden floors and all there wood is British. I get some good deals when I go there. I just route through there scrapes and they give me deals on them.
I just finished it with a few coats of tung oil. To buff it off the waney edge I used a brass wire brush. Then gave it a coat of wax.

The arc in rings is what causes cupping. Sorry not the best at explaining thing so found picture.

There will not be another one exactly the same anywhereCheers guys. Sure mark. I just made a lip with a router. I used a power router though. Not a plough plane. I can’t seem to get on with my plough plane yet. I just left a gap at the ends where I cut the dovetails so they didn’t show on the outside.
