Another great piece. Whatever you do, you get all the color out of that wood. You are truly the Master of Beetle Kill Pine. Have a blessed Easter.

A family heirloom for sure, Monte. It looks heavy! Thanks for sharing.

i did have one thought about this piece, you would have gotten the same effect from the cedar even if it were 1/4 thick, and the box would have been lighter, something to think about.

Awesome piece Monte, it looks amazing! I have a bunch of BKP waiting for something to make out of it, but I don't have any experience with it… nor do I see examples much. Thanks for sharing, it helps me envision the possibilities. Love those brands, what a great design touch!

Grizzman, I agree that it would have been better to plane the cedar thinner. But I was having a lot of trouble with it blowing apart in the planer. This stuff seemed very brittle for some reason.

well when you get one , that will be the best answer for things like this, any time i'm going to line the inside of a box or a chest, i go to lowes and buy the packages they have, its already to go, i think its 1/4 inch, but if not i would have to cut it down
