Next door neighbor gave me a 1x5 inch, five foot piece of Tiger Maple yesterday, beautiful piece of wood. Thought about maybe making some thing out of it and giving it back to him and his wife for xmas...lol...Any body got any ideas what to make with this, pretty small piece and it's an inch thick ...jeez..I have no idea, thought maybe a clock or some thing and just use this to face it, maybe wrap the base with it...I am open to suggestions..lol..It's a shame not to use this for some thing, beautiful piece of wood, I don't even think it needs to be stained, just some type of oil finish and polish.
