    Lumber Run, Today...resupplied the Ash Stash

    Boss had errands to run...wood supplier was home....dropped off the Boss to do her thing, and drove on over to buy a stash of wood for the shop..

    ten planks @ 1 x 6 x 10'...had to be cut down to fit IN the backend of the Chevy Equinox LT.....

    Besides a couple of Live Edge planks...there was a bit of fancier grain...

    He even threw in a couple thin, shorties to clean off a shelf..

    8 trips from the car to inside of the house..

    And I am plumb tuckered out ( Knackered?)

    Price? 10 planks @ $3 per plank....$30..

    May start on a 4-5 drawer Chester Drawers...letting the lumber get used to the house, first.

    Stay tuned...

    Ok..that one Thumbnail is from a previous supply run..

    22 boards..about 52 bft of Ash 1 x 6...

    This is the fancy grain I was talking about...maybe 2 drawer fronts worth?

    Most of the longer boards are over 5' in length....as we were cutting the 10 footers down a bit...as the Boss would want to be able to sit in HER front seat.


    Plan right now for this stash? a Chest of Drawers, with Frame & Raised Panel sides...made a small version last spring..might use a few details learned from that build...
