I'm going to ask the question here, because most of the work on this project will be done with hand tools....
Is there anything I need to pay special attention to while working with bird's eye maple? My dad has asked me to build a day bed for him, and his chosen wood is bird's eye. It's an intimidating project for me, but I know where I can get plenty of help!
As far as my past projects go, this is only my second big piece. My first being a table for my kitchen. Outside of that, I primarily like making tools and small stuff for around the house.
Primary joinery will be M&T. In fact, my first purchase from LN was a mortise chisel for this project. I know that I have the tools to do it, and I'm going to have to practice some skills on cut-offs and scrap. Thanks in advance...I'm sure I'll have lots more questions as I dig into this project.
