Hello everyone! I have a very good friend that is retiring from the navy next month and I have been asked to make his retirement chest. I have a design concept to hold his flag, last uniform,and awards. However I need some lumber to make it happen. I am not looking for a handout or anything free. I just need a quick source for the lumber to get this project started. Looking for maple, tiger, maple, crotch or spalted harwood lumber that will present a genuine gift to a great warrior.

I was thinking around a 37inL x 26inH x 21.5inW size.

If you can find some Live Oak, it would be cool to incorporate in the project given its Naval history.

Hi Michael. Welcome back. I seem to recall that Scott Smith recently posted he had spalted oak. He is in New Hill.
