Popular Post gee-dub Posted September 13, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Here's a box I made for mom to keep her snapshots in. She needed more room so I made another one a year later. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 i think the color change is like wood magic, you know what its going to look like you just can't see it for 6 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I love cherry the slow color change to a beautiful brown is fun to watch. There are a few things I've made that have aged quite a bit and i find myself just staring at them thinking about how they were much lighter when i first made them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should start a thread showing before and after color change. I'd retake some pictures to post in there. Might be super interesting.

Chet Posted September 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I wish I had taken some better "progress" photos of this sideboard for that reason. When I first finished milling the legs, one could have thought that they were pine because they were so light. Now, with the fact that they were the first thing completed, they are one of the darker parts at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
