Starting On the End Tables

Well between yesterday and today, I bought the walnut for the end table legs. I wanted 3" thick walnut, but my supplier only had 4" thick material. It's not like the wood will be wasted, but the cost is $2/bd-ft more expensive for 4" vs. 3" material. Here are some pics of those two boards I bought:

This first board is really nice, 78" long, 10" wide, and 4" thick".



The second board is a little smaller. I need to get a total of 12 legs from the two of them, which will leave some extra behind.




Next step, cut leg blanks from the boards and make sure they are all the same dimensions before bandsawing into legs.

Oh I forgot, I have a new hobby that will complement my cabinet work:
