I only made a couple planes out of the stuff and I have a strong feeling that I will never use it in a piece.<br />You could use a different walnut like claro or if you can find air dried black walnut, or Peruvian. All are nice and friendly.<br />Do you have a blog and/or are you going to start one?<br />I think these blogs are a nice way to keep up with fellow craftsman. I kind of took the atmosphere of the classroom for granted, now I'm back in Minneapolis and haven't met anyone I can related on a wood craft level.<br />In short, do it I wanna see! That goes for all you craftspeople out there!Nicholas Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007087871945089139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934391012680836729.post-45426170487705850142009-07-10T18:37:10.949-05:002009-07-10T18:37:10.949-05:00Yup, that’s me.

I’m self-taught, so I thought this will be a great introduction to veneers and laminate bending- something I've been wanting to learn. <br /><br />The plan is to make a larger cabinet with the aforementioned Bulgarian walnut. It will be frame and panel construction- the walnut in the frame. I’m looking for some wood for the frame. I thought wenge might look good. Any suggestions.Jason2730https://www.blogger.com/profile/13682125843440254818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934391012680836729.post-42108390765586409292009-07-09T08:53:39.700-05:002009-07-09T08:53:39.700-05:00Hey Jason... the one with the Bulgarian Walnut tha...Hey Jason... the one with the Bulgarian Walnut that I later decided that I wanted but by April it was too late? heh<br />How's it going?<br />Yeah I saw the photos, I do not have them yet but once again I'm not all too happy with the some of the ones I see. There is a lack of color that is present in the piece. Same thing with the photos of the box. When I got the photos of the box I did a little work on photoshop to make it what I think is a bit more accurate. So we'll see when I actually get all the photos... I'm afraid I wont be posting any on here until I have access to the raw files.<br />Ha I still can't take a compliment... thanks!<br />Do you have any new or in process works?Nicholas Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007087871945089139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934391012680836729.post-2351549771070597602009-07-08T13:04:32.905-05:002009-07-08T13:04:32.905-05:00I met you at Gilmer's in Portland about 6 mont...I met you at Gilmer's in Portland about 6 months ago and, since then, have been following the progress of your elm/cherry cabinet. Photos of the finished piece have just been posted on the inside passage web site. It looks great!
