Lets see your wood

[Hypnotic Chimera]

Been steadily acquiring a variety of different chunks of wood with the intent to make some little trinket or keepsake boxes.
Desire is to dovetail the joints, and have different species for the ends and sides and something different again for the top.

Here's most of my stash.

Amazique

Tulipwood/poplar

Wenge

American Cherry

Wild Mango

A few pieces of oak flooring board offcuts

Unknown species, circa 10mm thick, reclaimed from a long coffee table (bit of hand sawing practice showing in this piece) underside:

finished topside
Also sitting on a longass length of sapele

And the large intact table top - around 5 ft long

 

[Hypnotic Chimera]

A few small sheets of different veneers for box tops

Oak burl, walnut burl, thuya burl, maple, and 2x fir burl

For veneer backing I have a few small sheets of 6mm walnut faced plywood.

Finally also have a block of salted ash in transit that is mainly intended for box tops, but might also become box sides.
