Southern Yellow What?

Some will scoff at using construction lumber such as southern yellow pine 2x material for a furniture project, I guess they are missing out.

Side Table, 49 1/2" x 15" x 29"
Nitrocellulose Satin Lacquer over Amber Shellac

    Nice looking table. I had the same thought today. The more I use SYP, the more I like it.

    It all depends on the piece. I've never even touched SYP. They don't have it in my area. Our "equivalent" is what they call HemFir.. ambiguous construction lumber. Nice job on the DTs. If SYP is as soft as most pine, they're difficult to pull of without extremely sharp knives.

    Hi Ralph,
    none so far.....I based it on the finish Chris Schwarz used for the Monticello Bookcases.
