    Default Tas Blackwood chest of drawers

    A few pictures of a project I am working on. This is for the newborn. Can't spend too much time in the shed at the moment, so it is progressing slowly.

    Looking beautiful Wongo. You know it'll be decades before your new daughter will really appreciate the work that goes into this furniture.

    Very tidy! Two block planes... one for each hand?

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Nice clean lines show off the grain nicely.

    My childern are well educated. They were playing in the shed with me the other day. The 6yr old picked up a piece of wood and said

    "Daddy is that human pine?" She meant Huon Pine.

    I said "Smell it"

    Then the 10 yr old said "No, it is blackwood"

    Yes it was blackwood.

    Scott.
    That will only leave around 1.5 cube of blackwood left, you could perhaps build another 2 story tree house for the children and their parents and of course for your pet possums, and perhaps it could be used for more storage........
    Looks great.

    Is that why the workspace looks small? The rest of the workshop is timber store?

    My kids say "Is this firewood?" and show no signs of discriminating any types of timber at all!

    I still predict that the furniture will suffer some sort of tragedy during its lifetime. My youngest put some stickers on his bed-head, which I'd lovingly built years ago... A real bugger to get off.

    Hi Wongo,

    What they all said. Looks fantastic, lots of dovetails.

    What timber did you use for the sides and back of the drawers, I like the contrast?

    Looking forward to the finished product.

    Cheers
    Pops

    Looking really good Wongo. I don't think it is a good idea to put a newborn in a chest of draws though. A crib or a cot would be better
    Those were the droids I was looking for.
