I want to duplicate the jewelry box pictured here:
http://westcreekstudio.com/pages/freestanding_chest.html
This is a birthday gift for my wife. The dimensions are 20" x 15" x 33
1/2" ht. I would like to make it out of curly maple, the more figured,
the better. The main problem I seem to be running into is finding one
long continuous board to make the case out of. I figure I need either
a 8' x 15" x 3/4" board or an 8' x 8" x 4/4 board I could recut down
the middle and joint. The thickness of the final project will be 3/8".
I have a planner and jointer, so I am somewhat flexible, but I want a
flow of grain around the entire case.
Any suggestions are more then welcome.

Try Curly Woods in Texas (www.curlywoods.com) I recently bought some
beautiful curly cherry from them. After describing my needs over the
phone ((866)679-6637), they selected some boards, cut them to the best
size that met my requirements while minimizing shipping costs, and
followed up to insure I was satisfied. Prices were reasonable, service
and delivery outstanding. They ship small quantities, and were great to
do business with.
Usual disclaimer: No connection, other than satisfied customer, etc.
