Woodworking #58 - Gadget Station (Pt.2)

For the first time ever, I am using mail-ordered wood. This material came from Bell Forest Products and I was very impressed with the quality. The shipment came in two packs and contained some really nice wide bubinga boards, as well as a piece ebony for the trim and some spalted maple for the doors. I sticker and stack the wood and talk about acclimation, and how it pertains to this particular situation. I talk a little bit about moisture meters as well and finish up by showing my strategy for cutting the cabinet parts out of the rough lumber so that the grain flows nicely.

@Strykercom1 Bell Forest Products is pretty awesome. We use them for all of our Guild projects and their service has been top notch. Wood quality is excellent too!

Bell Forest is one of the best. I buy a lot of wood from them for my cues.
