I'm working some rosewood today. This is bead stock for the front drawers, which will just be flat beads, no fancy curves. Since rosewood is kind of a precious material, I end up doing a lot of hand work to minimize waste. Often, I'm working small parts, so it's safer this way too. The smell is fantastic.
Drawer Parts
I'm starting to populate the case of the chest of drawers with drawer parts. At this point, I'm swimming in drawer parts in various stages of completion and plane shavings.
Forging Ahead in 2018
Rosewood beads are installed and looking flashy. They accentuate the curvy shape of the bottom aprons nicely. On to installing the top and then it is drawer time, ten of them.
