Wood needed for NCWW Fund raising project.

[Mike Davis]

Since the chest turned out so extraordinary we have decided to make the drawers of solid wood instead of ply.

We need about 110 linear feet of 4/4 or 60 feet of 5/4 pine or poplar at least 6 1/2 inches wide.

We would like to have this donated by one of our hardwood suppliers, if no one steps up, I'll pull some cash out of my personal savings.

Do you need it rough or S4S?

 

[Mike Davis]

Rough is fine, if s4s I would need to ask Tim Sherwood how thick to make it.

 

[Tim Sherwood]

Mike, my math says your math is pretty good. 110 feet should get us enough to do a few trial, and retrial, dovetails. We need to build with a finished size of 1/2" x 6 1/4. That will fit my dovetail jig best. S4S would be great, but we can re-saw and plane it from rough if we need to. Anything will be greatly appreciated.

 

[Jeremy Scuteri]

My experience has been that it is a challenge to reliably get two 1/2" pieces when resawing 5/4 stock. 6/4 is much more forgiving.

Tim, I'll mill it for you at 1/2 x 6 1/4" S4S. When do you need it?

 

[Tim Sherwood]

That's very generous Rick! We thank you. I don't see any huge hurry . Mike, do you have any target date in mind?

 

[Mike Davis]

Would like to be done by end of August to have time for photos, promotion and set up an auction.

Rick , would a couple of weeks give you enough time? Just PM me when you are ready.
