So it rained this afternoon, which meant I had to pack my stuff back into my shed. But, it cleared up in the late afternoon early evening, so I broke out the bandsaw and resawed the white oak piece I intend to use for the back. Wow. It's really pretty. Great sap wood strip, and decent figure. I didn't think it would look this cool.
The firgure on the left hand piece is slightly less noticeable in the picture, but that is just the angle of the light. The figure is almost identical on each side.
This is about 11 inches wide. So I will have to take a bit from the remain 6 feet I have from this board and resaw it and attach it to the sides. Which means it will be a 4 piece back.
Also, I am going to get 2 sets out of this wood. Wonder what I'll do with the other set. Hmmm. Tough choice!
