Jeff, that bedroom set is absolutely beautiful. I've never heard of Sapele before, but will definitely check my hardwood guy next time I'm in. Most of my work has been in oak.

@kschweer , what you're doing is one of the reasons my woodworking/furniture building has been reduced to a minimum......house projects!!!
And
@Dual40IM , your bar project reminded my of my most recent build.....a pallet bar....this past summer. What was great about this build was that all the wood was free (across the street neighbor received a swing set/play set, and I got the eight foot pallet), and my wife wanted it as rustic as possible, so no carefully picking boards, sanding or fancy finishing.
