Rick is just finishing a sideboard for some clients who live up the road from us and have been doing a remodel to their log home. They wanted something that would fit in with the style of the house, but using interesting wood. It is cherry and with birdseye maple panels.
The top was made from some beautiful quartersawn cherry that we picked up on a sojourn to Specialty Forest Products south of Kent, WA a couple of weeks ago. Rick was hoping to find some 8/4 cherry (2″ thick rough) with nice figure, and was thrilled that they had a whole sling of the quartersawn, which is hard to find.
Here it is with the interior lighting turned on. The lighting is LED strips, individually dimmable, with all the wiring completely hidden.
The birdseye panels are from the wood we picked up from Ken Richards in Maple Valley a couple of months ago. I wrote about this in a former post.
The lower cabinet has pullout drawers for wine storage, and he is waiting to get the glass for the upper cabinet doors and shelves. I will get some more pictures when we deliver and install it early next week.
On the home front, we are concerned about the weight of the snow load on our roof, especially in the valleys. But there isn’t much we can do as it is frozen solid up there!

That’s going to look even better when the cherry darkens up and the maple panels start to pop a bit more. Lovely work!
