I need a wide chunk of cherry.

[photobug]

In a world full of coincidences, I just built a very similar box. I built mine of Walnut and figured maple. My top is glued up. Just glue. There is no need for a mechanical fastener for this kind of top. I built mine as a quarantine project to use up an interesting piece of Walnut.  I'm in Michigan and have a fair amount of cherry if you can't come up with a better solution.

I don't know when I bought his plans but it was a few years ago just did not have access to a full shop till recently to make something this complex.  The plans were published in a woodshop magazine.
