Raw_Material.jpgThe Raw Material91 viewsThese are some of the better pieces of the oak beams I scrounged at work. They were used as spacers between about 10-12 inch sewr pipe that were being laid underground. The foreman said I could have them when they were done and I picked all I could that looked even remotely useful. Lots of cracks and checks. There's a reason this oak ended up as sewer pipe spacres versus commercial lumber, but with care you can extract some decent stock.TRexF16

IMG_0970.JPGShow side panels67 viewsThis is the exposed end side. These raised panels are knotty alder, but darker than usual. I'm trying to use alder of the same hue for the drawer fronts, but have not yet cut them. I hope they match.TRexF16
