Step 3Step 1: Cut your wood up
After you decide how much wood you need and purchase the raw lumber you will prepare the wood by dressing the lumber. You are taking your rough lumber and machining it into smooth lumber ready for working.
First, cut all of your large lumber into the general size you need for each piece of lumber, leaving extra for waste that will occur from cutting or planing and jointing your lumber.
For example, I cut the legs into 2.5" x 2.5" x 22"; remember, you will be adding another board later to get your 3 inch thickness (final size of legs: 3" x 3" x 20"). Do this for all your other pieces as well.

I can't see enough of the grain, but it's either curly maple or maple burl. Do a google image search for it. It's a gorgeous wood when it's finished right.
