clock,a nice custom box for something you collect. Picture

I'm thinking a hope chest, perhaps with aromatic cedar
lining.

Hay WoodChuck,
You may want to think about about some larger keepsake boxes. This
size wood would make a larger jewlery box. You might want to think
about maple as an inlay with the walnut as a contrast.
Use Walnut as the inlay with some birch/maple? I used some as wedges
into some maple quilt display unit.
Also think about this size wood as the drawer fronts to some other
larger case works. You would then use Walnut ply as the case, with
this size walnut solid wood as the drawers and such.
In the box world how about a tool box to show off your work with a
coopered top?

Clocks, sconces, desk sets, boxes. think accessories, not furniture.
A particularly nice sconce is one that holds an oil lantern as long as
it fits your decor.

My dilemma is that the longest boards are 20" long. It may be hard to build
a round or square dining table from short boards as those.
I came up with a design for a coffee table, but SHMBO vetoed the design.

You have some good thoughts. I like the idea of using them as drawer fronts
and using walnut ply. I planed, sanded and finished (natural-no stain) a
piece and it is really nice looking. I was planning to make a couple of
night stands in the near future and I have already drawn the plans. I
suppose I could use walnut ply for the face frame if I band it with walnut
banding. Or I could buy a small amount for the styles.
The boxes aren't a bad idea either.
