Hello all.
I have decided to make myself a tool cabinet and I have a planned out how I want it to be. But I'm really a novice when it come to knowledge of wood. I bought some sawn timber a couple weeks ago, Maple,Cherry and some Walnut.I intend to make it mainly in Cherry and Maple, I've done a rough plan and decided to make it 34 x30 x 6inches with double doors 15 x 30 x4inches. What I intended to do was to cut the wood for the carcase and doors leave it a week then plane one side and edge and leave for another week before I plane it to size and start the joinery part. This is the help I need in so far as am I going about it the right way by doing it the way I've explained. The timber was bought from a very long standing place its not kiln dryed but is stored inside. When it arrived the moisture was around 13/14 its been racked in my workshop and is now between 6/8 its quite nice over all, slight bow in some of the Cherry but the Maple is really quite straight. Any help, advice would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Paul
