I am planning to make this

but i will be using knock down joinery. e.g. removable dowel on a through mortise and tenon joint. Hence hardwood is a must.

Might make this as a console table very Japanesy Shinto-ish actually.

I have blocks of narra left over from the cut off of my stair treads, i just realized i could use these to make shopmade tooks... 🙂

Oh and is our own red Lauan / Tanguile really considered a hardwood? I hate working with the red stocks 🙂

Re: where do you guys source your hardwoods?

anyone here used guijo/giho wood?

its 120 per board feet so a 2 x 4 x 10 feet would be 799.20 pesos....

i got a contact from where i got the planks for my stairs when my house was being built.

I can pm their number to you if you want. they have 2 x 6 KD . and i think its s4s as well

just dont know if these are legal wood though or if guijo is currently controlled by DENR
