G'Day everyone,
I went to a HomeDepot to buy a few items and some wood(timbers) and spotted a piece of pine 2"x10"x 8 ft with a knotted portion that caught my eye and my nature, figuring a nice sculptured band saw box.. It is rather unique (I think) so it came home with me. My situation is that I need to preserve the large Knot and am not sure how to do so. I call it BigBird.

I have cut the block, outline, drawers etc. Now it's ready for sealing and sanding. I want to keep the roughness around the 'Nest' so it adds to the life of the of this project. The knot goes right thru the front drawer cover and a portion of the cavity base.

Any suggestions much appeciated.
