thanks for the question.
My experience with...Joe,<br /><br />thanks for the question.<br /><br />My experience with shedua is limited so far to re-sawing, jointing and planing, all by machine, and the impression I have formed so far is that it is just as hard to work as bubinga, and like figured bubinga, is quite prone to tear out. My planer knives are likely a little dull, and carbide knives are never the sharpest possible cut, but I can only take the material so far by conventional means. And the prospect of trying to hand plane 1/4" off of the panels with a scraping plane carries no appeal whatsoever. The mill will do the job.<br /><br />There will be some joinery on the drawer fronts of course, and that will be tackled with a mix of routing/milling and hand tools. That's how I do most of my work.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-23468377940301632602016-02-13T11:20:25.592-05:002016-02-13T11:20:25.592-05:00Brian,

I don't mean regarding the tear-out from the planing but when it comes to tweaking any areas/joints by hand. From the 2nd photo, it would seem to be nicer to work with then the Bubinga. With the straighter grain it almost invites some hand/chisel work.<br /> Great work!Joe Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-82405634357995353212016-02-12T21:55:28.099-05:002016-02-12T21:55:28.099-05:00Looking great Chris!

Those frames are incredible works in their own right, going to be wonderful foundations for the cabinet.<br /><br />I see the beginnings of the base to cabinet connection on their way, watching closely and with great interest.Brian Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207345071092915936noreply@blogger.com
