Moms Tea Cabinet




I finally started in on the much delayed tea cabinet. The wood is red oak and beech. I took it out to enjoy the sunshine before I ran it through my fine Italian bandsaw.




Here is the oak rough milled. The wood will sit like this for a week or so to twist and warp before final milling. I haven't cut the beech for the bottom stand yet.


You can already see the boards cupping.

You should scrap the cabinet idea and build a boat out of that.

Must be time to brew some batches if that wood needs a week or two to warp.

This is true. We'll have to get that going before I start making that gravy boat.

Thanks Dave! Keep the pictures coming! They definitely help since we can't stop by to see the progress. Dad and I are planning a trip up to see you two this summer. Do you know of a time that you won't be around? Love to you both! mom

If thats the case, we are hoping to be hiking from mid-August to mid-September if anyone want to sublet. Great location and we got a canoe that goes with it too!
