I have some highly figured cherry I bought years ago that is now stable and ready to work on. The problem is there isn't a lot of it and I haven't done anything with highly figured cherry before. We don't have a lot of furniture in our home as LOML is not a big buyer and prefers a minimalist look. Thus finding a spot for one piece shouldn't be difficult. She actually was with me when we purchased these pieces of wood. When the mill skip planed the cherry we both looked at each other and said: "We'll take it". We knew that if I did a decent job, whatever I built should be attractive.
The two short boards are 4/4 thick X 4' long by 7" wide. The most figuring is in the middle of the boards.
The two longer boards are the biggest problem as they are only 11/16" thick X 6' long by 12" wide. I do have a short board 3' long that looks much like them. A couple places on the long boards would need the board to be narrowed by an inch or two. But since they are 12" wide, I don't think that's too much of a problem.
I've been thinking of an end table, coffee table, desk with accent pieces, etc. Where do you people use this type of wood? Appreciate your input.
