    Bubinga Dresser Progress

    Progress is slow but steady on the dresser I'm building. The darker wood for the top is Bubinga, the side panels are Red Alder, and the light colored legs are Eastern Maple. I still need to dye the legs a little darker to match the alder side panels.

    The bubinga looks very nice! I love the grain and I bet when you get some oil or finish on it, you'll get some beautiful depth on it.

    The Bubinga really pops! That's going to be a very nice piece when you are done. 'Hope you'll continue posting progress pictures, too.

    Nice work so far. theh Bubinga should look very nice when it's all together. Be sure to post some pic's when you finish. I'm interested in seeing the contrast between the three woods.
