Drawer Rough Cuts

I jointed, planed and cut the drawer sides to rough size last night. Started with the big 8” x 12” pieces that I cut a couple of weeks ago when I got the new douglas fir board, then planed them down to about 2” thick and cut into strips just over 2 1/4” wide:

They’re very close to quartersawn which is ideal for drawers (minimal wood movement).

I have eight pieces that have the lighter strip of sapwood along the top. I’m going to use those for the 4 of the drawers, the ones along the long sides of the table. I doubt anyone will notice, but I’ll know. 🀫
