Made for my fiancee Serena. I put a lot of time into this one. It's the first project that I am really actually proud of, if that make any sense.
It's not perfect but I learned a ton.
It was also my first time using a router (just bought the OF 1400 for this project).
- The main carcass is Ribbon Stripe Sapele
- The bottom is a rabbeted in piece of brazilian cherry - very strong and heavy wood! fun to work with
- The top is ribbon stripe sapele as well, with the panel being canary wood - gorgeous gorgeous wood
- I messed up the bottom of the canary wood so decided to route out a 1/4" stopped dado and do an Indian Rosewood inlay to "fix" it....I actually like it!
- Solid brass hinges, feet, and placard
A few coats of Deft spray lacquer and she's done!
Took me about 1.5 weeks, 3-5 hours a day plus or minus.
