#1 looks like Cottonwood or Longan. #3 looks like olive?

Scott Sorry I did not see you had guessed the olive first. NO on cottonwood. Maybe closer but not really........

I've seen silver maple look a lot like that mystery board. Spalted elm crossed my mind, but it just doesn't seem right. Box elder seems to have a thousand appearances, so it's a possibility as well. I don't know...

Sorry none of the above- The really bad part is y'all have seen it but you just would not believe it............

Put the dado's in all drawers and installed slides. Sanded and rounded over some of the drawers. Almost done with these d@#%*&^%#@ 30 drawer carcass's. Finish sanded and install the legs on all. Put a quick coat of finish on all. been raining here a bunch so I have had time in shop. Looks like I get one more partial day tomorrow. Maybe I get the drawer fronts on tomorrow. These little drawers have been a pain but oh well.

I would bet I am a lot faster at them now then when I started. Gives you a new respect for the craftsmen that would do nothing but make drawers by hand 125 yrs ago. I do it cause I enjoy making things- they did it to survive. I have to admit I like putting the frosting on best and that is about all I have left now.

 

[Mike1950]

The frosting!!! I love playing with these little pieces of wood. I do not have a favorite yet but I am leaning towards the cherry.

the olive is not done yet. Just glued the faces on last 2. Notice a lot of pencil marks. In the heat of the gluing I have found more marks are better. It is easy to get pieces turned around.
I have sorta lost track of time- it has been a little here and there.

Wow... Those are beautiful, Mike! That curly walnut is really striking, but I'd have a hard time declaring an absolute favorite.

 

[davduckman2010]

wow beutiful mike my favorite is the the ones in the top pic and the bottom 4 pics

 

[Sprung]

Wow! All very good looking! Great work. Hard to pick a favorite. I'm sure whoever ends up with these is going to love them!

Thanks everyone. There is just one quick coat on the 3 of them. David- I really like the curly sapwood-dark combo. That walnut is very nice.

One is taken -the one that disappeared - we shall see it later but I do not want anybody guessing the next woods that go into it and I am sure someone will.
Doors, lids- more finish, cloth in top and drawer bottoms and these suckers are history + the surprise knobs.

 

[woodtickgreg]

All are beautiful, but the bottom one does it for me. I love the figure in that one.
