Expert Wood working

Heres the beginning of the construction from this past weekend, although Im not sure how much construction actually took place. Well, like I said, I was able to complete the front legs.

Im not certain how far I will get this weekend as I will be busy with The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisbe. I play the part of a thespians dad who drives around a lot.

This piece is a Recipe Box with Birds Eye Maple Body, Black Walnut doors and drawers with a Quarter Sawn Oak stand.

The Oak for the stand is locally grown and milled featuring through mortise and tenon construction with Walnut wedges. The cabinet sides are held together with dowels while the drawers are through dovetails. The hardware is cast Bronze, giving the piece an Asian inspired feel.
