OK, it’s a new month and I have finally caught up with my budget. I get to go buy some wood for my next project.
I’m going to build a standing desk that will primarily be used for my laptop which is used in conjunction with my guitar practice and playing. My plan, before I look at actual wood, is to make it from maple. I’d like to get a few boards to make up the top that have some nice figure to them though the rest can be non-figured.
I’m first going to look at a local wood store (I try to favor the closer stores for convenience and keeping the taxes local too). Their supply is pretty good but as a backup, we have very large store with extensive selection in Seattle.
I’ve been peeking at craigslist for the past month and I don’t think I have search criteria narrowed down correctly. My searches for wood tend to include wood furniture, tools, and all sorts of stuff that makes it hard to find wood being given away or at a good price. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d love to hear them.
I’m very excited to get the wood here so it can acclimate and then I can actually do some woodworking.
