Just joined and thought I'd post a picture of my last project. It's a keepsake box for the wife.
It's made of solid 4/4-ish Bubinga and finished with a french polish. Both were a first for me. We do like to change up wood species - the plant stand I'm working on now is Purpleheart but I've used pine, oak, mahogany, and poplar too. The french polish was new too - you folks probably do that kind of thing all the time but I usually take the easy way out and use polyurethane. Maybe an oil finish is on the list for the future? We'll see.
