Hell yes, you do, and talk about grain! What was that? Curly
sycamore?

You mean this little ole thang:

Just some curly cherry, quilted maple and quartersawn sycamore.
It's nothing, really. ;-)

Mine will be more utilitarian, a baltic-birch ply, briefcase style,
that will serve as both storage and stream-side bench, using this one
as inspiration:

That's right, I forgot. You want to be able to sit at camp and tie
flies while the birds are singing around you.

Mine will have fewer fiddly-bits.

Hmmm ... mine just has a few dovetails, mortise and tenon joints,
16" long hidden miters ... you know, the usual. ;-)

I'm in the home stretch with it, getting anxious because next up is a
cherry (yep :-) glass-door book case- a bit more along my usual
lines. Baltic-birch ply, as nice as it is, doesn't exactly lend
itself to dovetails and transparent shavings from the smoothing
planes. Also have a black walnut sofa table idea waiting in the
wings.

So much lumber, so little time.

Amen to that, my bookish brother. And we expect pics.
