Some time ago I was working on a nice antique dresser which was missing one
complete drawer. Because the drawer was missing, I got it cheap, thinking it
wouldn't be too difficult to make a replacement drawer. And the work part wan't
very difficult. But the material  for the drawer sides and back were impossible
for me to locate. They were QS sycamore. I looked all over So Cal and didn't
find any. But I did find another dresser which was beyond repair which had the
needed lumber in its drawer sides. I had to glue up stock to make my drawer, but
I got it done.

QS sycamore has a very pretty and distinctive ray figure in it, much like old
growth QS white oak. I like it a lot.
