Three years after getting some kind of ornamental Cherry from a neighbor, I completed the the stool seats they requested. They loved the tree and wanted something to remember it by. After many ideas gone through do to the way the wood dried and my limited skills, this is what I came up with. The second picture is two boards of Cherry glued up and the third is two boards. End boards are a tongue and groove joint. They are 19" long and 10 1/2" at the widest point. They are to be picked up tomorrow.

As always,
Gecko

Glad to see you did not "hide" the knots. All too often we see knots and think -- oh, that's undesireable. Not to me. Knots really bring out some real pretty detail. Nice job.

Those are beautiful, Gecko. I've got some boards that I think are Cherry that I sawed out of a log Boodrow gave me. It looks just like those panels. Seeing how yours turned out has me excited about mine. Thanks for showing and I'll bet the recipients are really pleased, too.
