About 8 to 10 board feet will do. A nice piece of 6/4 (11/2"-thick in the rough) cherry can be re-sawn easily to yield the necessary 3/8" thickness and ensure a nice bookmatched lid. "Resawing" is taking a thicker piece of wood and splitting it to make two thinner pieces. The band saw is the machine of choice for this process. "Bookmatching" is when a re-sawn piece of wood is spread open like a book, exposing the two nearly matching inner surfaces. Choose your wood carefully, looking for consistent color throughout the piece. Cherry can have sappy areas that are lighter in color. When you get the wood to your shop, flatten one face and square one edge on your jointer to give you a flat, square surface to run along your band saw's fence during resawing. You may want to cut the lumber to shorter lengths (a few inches longer than necessary for each piece) to make flattening easier. It's likely that your rough lumber will allow you more than 3/8" thickness after resawing. Half-inch stock or more is preferable SUPPLIES Rockier 800-279-4441 or rockler.com 1 • 7/8" cherry Shaker knob, #78493, $2.59/pair 1 • rare earth magnet, #32907, $3.99/pack of 10 Lee Valley 800-871-8158 or leevalley.com 1 • brass piano hinge, #00D50.09, $4.40 Prices as of publication deadline. |
