Brazilian cherry

[Mike Davis]

I believe this is Jatoba/ Brazilian Cherry. Does anyone have a scrap of something very similar looking in about a full 2x2x6 inch or so? A little larger would be nice but no smaller. I would like to make a matching knob for a good friend and student.

Mike,

I have a scrape of BC approx 6/4 x 2.75" x 18". Your welcome to it. I'll post a pic when I get back to the shop. I can cut it down for easy cost effective shipping. Just let me know.

Thanks Dan 6 inch pieces would be ideal. I may replace some of her other planes. Would be nice to have a matched set.

The wood arrive today, sorry I did not read correctly. I need 8/4 x 3 inches to make plane front knobs. I can send this back or pay you something, just let me know.

Sorry, it didn't work out. Just keep, no need to return or pay anything.

I think I recognize that plane....

It's 1.75"

 

[Mike Davis]

I'll have to measure tonight. Was hoping to make low knobs, they are a little larger/wider. the newer style may work.

Does it have to be a solid piece? I have a piece that was originally glued up to use as a handrail on stairs

 

[Mike Davis]

Thanks but yes it does need to be a solid piece.

 

[bowman]

I have a piece that is 1 7/8"× 1 7/8" x 17" you can have if it will work

 

[Mike Davis]

I think that will do it. Thanks Neal.
