    The cupboard in the picture is actually walnut. AFAIK the elm I have coming is fairly straight grained (which is quite appropriate), but as it's currently residing down at Tooradin, I won't know for sure until Mrs. Wood can get down there to collect it in a week or so.

    Default A George II Elm Corner Cupboard - Part Two

    To make an elm cupboard, I first require elm. I have some gargantuan elm boards which are becoming increasingly difficult to get hold of, so I am reserving them for making Windsor chair seats of the proportions necessary to accommodate my ample posterior. I have other odds and ends of elm left over from various jobs, but nothing substantial enough even for this little elm corner cupboard.

    I broadcast a plea for some elm in another thread and a forum member from a woodworking club about 200 kilometres south west of Melbourne offered me this lot of boards which, by no means perfect, looked to be sufficient and adequate for reproducing a small provincial style cupboard.


    Some reasonably nice elm.

    The price was agreed and after electronically transferring the funds, this is what materialised...


    A totally dissimilar and mostly unusable lot of split, warped and sappy boards.

    As chance would have it, 'malleeboy' from the Warragul Woodworkers' Club, was coming up to Melbourne today and brought me a dozen or so nice wide elm slabs and boards.


    Dogs can be so predictable.

    So, I'm back on track and will hopefully have some real progress to report in my next dispatch.

    Look forward to more. I'd be agro about being sold something which was nothing like you were meant to receive.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    I'd opt for the former. We can read the book later.

    Fracas. Sharps or bangs. I'll stand in with steel if the Mantons need a clean.

    My Mantons are currently in need of a good knapper, so stand by.

    For some reason he turned his nose up at this lot.

    Nice looking slabs in the end. BTW, my friend says he has more elm now.

    It's to do with whatever washing powder the missus puts in the machine with him.
