We're starting a new project, a chest of drawers for my sister. It starts with a trip to the lumberyard.
It's a pretty nice lumberyard, with good variety and quality wood. This view was substantiated during this trip when we ran into one of my dad's woodworking inspirations,
Peter Kramer. If he's willing to drive an hour to get wood there, it's good stuff.
We picked out three cherry boards, eight feet long, an inch and a half thick, and six to eight inches wide. These will be the sides of piece.
We bought the boards rough, so we put them through the planer until the faces were clean.
This creates a lot of sawdust.
